Travel
We have now
confirmed our charter details. We are using Air Charter Services who have
arranged the flights through Excel Airways.

Arrive
(These times
are approx)
Can we ensure
that all team members are at the airport for 13.00hrs for check-in. It will be the responsibility of the Team Manager to
ensure that all their team are present before presenting themselves to a member
of the Executive who will check them in.
A meal will be
served on the plane on both legs of the journey.
Please
remember that any changes to personnel flying, for example cancellation of
seats will incur full cost.
We must be advised ASAP of any competitors whose names on
the entry list are different from the names on their passports as we need to
provide a list of names to the airline and any difference will result in those
competitors not being allowed to fly.
Baggage
Allowance
15kg hold
luggage (this has been reduced from
20kg)
5kg hand
luggage – Remember only 1 piece of hand luggage per person.
Can you ensure
that all team members have something on their bags that that they can identify
as theirs. As you can appreciate it may be difficult locating 180+ identical
bags. We are looking at using coloured tape to
identify sports but individual competitors still need to be able to identify
their own bags.
We will be met
at
Freight & Van Transport
The van will
be available at the Geoff Reed Table tennis centre on Friday 22nd
June from 13.00hrs to load kit. If you contact Bob it may be possible to load
some items the night before. Please do not bring anything that has not been
agreed in advance with
This has been
a huge undertaking by Bob and Mick please do not put
them in any sort of position by packing anything that should not be there.
The van will
not return until 23.00hrs on the Tues 11th July, therefore unloading
may take place the following morning. More information will be given on during
the games.
Can you seriously consider everything that you would want to
take as freight, if you can source it in
Accommodation
All the rooms
have been allocated, although the hotel have contacted me today to enquire if
anyone who is staying in a double would be prepared to stay in a triple for the
nights of 27th – 30th as the hotel is fully booked for
those nights. Obviously there would be a price reduction if anyone chose this
option and it may be attractive to those who are on a budget. If you are
interested can you let me know ASAP.
We have the
hotel registration forms and this will handed out on the plane for you to
complete, this will save time when we get to the hotel.
We will
check-in everyone by sports, not individuals as this will relate to the
accommodation list the hotel has been given.
When you get
to the hotel please be patient when they are checking you in, remember they
will be dealing with 180 people at a time.
Please ensure
that you inform your team members that they will need international adapters in
the hotel and need to bring them.
Tracksuits, Bags & T-Shirts
For reasons
beyond our control this has not been the smoothest of operations. Apologies to
any team member who has not yet received a tracksuit of their choice i.e one that fits. However the tracksuit committee
are doing everything in their power to ensure that everyone does get a
tracksuit, however at this moment we cannot guarantee that everyone will get
the tracksuit of their choice.
The bags have
arrived (hopefully by the time you read this you will have got them).
The T-Shirts
have not arrived, hopefully Monday 25th June will be the arrival
date, this is not ideal but we are very reliant on the suppliers. For those who
are travelling before the 27th we will get
T-Shirts, although they may not be printed
Every team
member will be issued with 6 pin badges and for those who would like more they
will be available to buy from Gill Phillips in the team office.
Finance
The final
balance is now due and will take into account any credit balances the sport has
through fund raising.
Requests to GTM before team arrives
As the GTM
will be in
Hire Cars
Although the organizers
have stated that a comprehensive “shuttle bus” system will be in operation
during the games it may be worthwhile considering a hire car(s) for your team.
However it may be worth finding out from your sport co-ordinator
if they are providing cars free of charge as we have just discovered that one
sport is actually providing teams with free cars!.
If, when you
get to
Sports
The final
sports guides are now all on the Rhodes 2007 website www.rhodes2007.info.
The draws have
now been made for a number of sports and are all on the website. Finally more
information is being added regularly.
Consult your
sport information for details about the training schedule, meeting slots and
most important the sport party!
There are also
satellite maps for all the venues and hotels and more information is being
placed on a regular basis. It is suggested that you visit the website on a
regular basis to update your information.
Every team
member will be issued with a
Website
The website is
proving very successful. It is averaging 200+ hits per day. The gallery of the
evening at the Merton has had over 500 downloads, we must a very vain group.
Since the website went live it has had in excess of 3,000 hits.
Journalists
are using the team manager profiles to write articles about various team
managers.
We all need to
encourage friends and family to visit the website as this will become a good
marketing tool when you are talking to potential sponsors in the future.
Stuart has
also posted a questionnaire for team managers and competitors to complete. It
would be good if we can commit to fill these out as this will make the website
“live”.
All
newsletters and a FAQ section for competitors are on the website.
Stuart will
also discuss with you the protocols for posting pictures on the website during
the games. If you are intending taking photographs during the games and would
like to see them on the World Wide Web Stuart will be available in the team
office every evening to upload selected photographs onto the website, although
it must be stressed that the final decision will be Stuart’s.
Stuart will be
out and about in the hotel and during the games so please try to give him as
much information as possible about what is happening in your sport so that we
can make the website as “live” as possible.
Communication
The SIM cards
have now been issued, please refer to the information sheet if you are
concerned about anything. Ian Robins will be available in
Medical
Adam Garnett
(Team Doctor) has sent through via Gill Phillips information regarding a number
of factors that we will face in
There is a
form to complete which will help us to allocate medical resources when they are
most needed, especially in the early days of competition it is expected that
demand will change as the games progress. Can you make sure you complete this
and return to Martin Colley. This will be issued in
Fund Raising
The car raffle
was a huge success and a big thank you to everyone who sold tickets. Your sport
will be debited the amount of tickets you sold
Meeting Schedule in
It is the
intention that we hold a Team Managers meeting on Friday 30th or
Saturday 1st depending on training schedules to clarify the
procedure for the opening ceremony. We will also have a Team Managers meeting
on Friday 6th to discuss the closing ceremony, closing night party
and procedure for returning to
There will be
a GTM meeting every morning at 0800hrs at the main hotel in Kalithea,
so if you any concerns that you would like raised let me know the day/night
before.
Opening Ceremony & Dress Code
We have had
very little detail about the opening ceremony but expect to receive more
information when we get there and you will be kept informed at our meeting on
the Friday 30th.
Just to
confirm the dress code for all competitors: leaving
Tracksuit (top
is suitable for medal ceremony)
White Trainers
Hat (opening
ceremony & flight)
This is a
contractual issue with Le Masurier and therefore must
adhered to.
Team Get Together
This was very
successful and a good night was had by all. It was nice to see so many of our
main team sponsors at the event and they were very impressed at the
professional outlook of the team.
Games 2007 Frequently Asked Questions
A games FAQ
sheet will shortly be posted on the website this is designed to help you and
your competitors with every possible question that you could be asked during
the run up to the games.
Provision of water/Isotonic drinks in
There is an
opportunity through the football team’s main sponsor Cimandis
to source cheaper water and Isotonic drinks than we could purchase in
Cable & Wireless Photo Shoot
As part of the
sponsorship opportunity C&W would like to do a photo shoot with all team
managers. They would like as many team managers to bring along the “tools of
their trade”. For example tennis will have a tennis racquet, cycling a bike,
athletics a pair of running shoes etc etc. All we
have to do is agree a date and a time.
Finally
Thank you for
all your hard work and support over the last two years and it is difficult to
believe that the 2007 games are nearly upon us.

Medical.
Team
doctor, Dr Adam Garnet would like TM’s to have available the Social Security JY number for all team
members. Please forward ASAP He suggests all should have immunization from
Polio and Tetanus and possibly Hepatitis A. Contact your own doctor regarding
you personal position. Dr Garnet will do the jabs at cost. General warnings
about drinking water and food: should not be a problem in a 5* hotel but we
need to be aware when out and about. Bottled water only.
Warnings about Sun, high temperatures and hydration levels. If uncertain what
precautions are needed just let me know and I will try to help you.

I
am please to say the bikes will be on the aircraft with us. As far as I am
aware it’s only our bikes, and the shooters guns and ammunition that will be on
the plane. In reality there will be extra capacity on the flight out, the
concerns are with the return on the smaller aircraft. The remaining equipment
is going by van (at a cost of £5000) The van will have some extra capacity for
the return leg and to insure nothing gets left at Rhodes airport I have been
asked to inform you, some personal kit may need to come back by road. The van
is leaving before the aircraft so the idea is to fill the van, to minimize the
weight on the aircraft. Hope this makes sense?
Baggage
allowance has been reduced to 15kg hold, and 5kg hand
(one piece) This is the maximum. Please remember bike, wheels, packing material
and bag weight should not exceed 30lbs, so there will not be much scope to put
things in the bike bags. Chris, Sam and Richard will have to be partially
careful as you will not have the same restrictions on your outward journey.
Please
arrange between yourselves so we don’t all take track pumps. Sports drinks can
probably be obtained in

Notes from TM meeting.
Travel Arrangements. Depart
Transportation of
Equipment. Aircraft types have
changed. 757 out and 737 back. The operator is not
prepared to take our equipment for fear of not being able to bring it back on
the smaller aircraft. Currently arrangements are being made for road transport.
I have suggested that we fly out with equipment, and drive down with empty
vans. That way we can be certain of safe arrival, and have bikes available for
use here.
Baggage Allowances. 20kg hold luggage (could be reduced
to 15kg) 5kg hand luggage, 1 piece only. Please note all normal security
restrictions / regulations will apply.
Course Details. Have been told details are available at www.rhodes2007.info (I can’t see
anything new here) Contacted cycling coordinator last w/e but as expected
nothing back from that end.
Hotel Preview &
Photographs. Photographs
available at www.igaj.org wifi available.
Social Security Numbers. Please have your Social security available when in
Hire of Van. Will we need to hire a
van? Chris, Sam & Richard you could organize this if you arrive early.
JIGA Web Site. Lots of content being added.
Rooms Sharing. Please advise if any preferences. (I will allocate rooms
after the w/e)
Hot Room Training. Other TM’s are not giving team members the option to opt out
of this. With the experience and maturity of the cycling team I don’t wish to get
involved with your individual training methods, so let me know what you want to
do. Under the JIGA training program we have been given 12th May at
1945. There is also the possibility of using facilities at Club Carrefour which
should allow more flexibility. Would suggest arranging Wed
and Fri evenings to still give the option of weekday racing.
