### Parents: The tour of Bratislava has been set up privately, and parents, family and friends are welcome to join the tour. My only request is that you purchase the bus passes you need prior to boarding the bus. A round- trip ticket can be purchased at the location where we board the bus to take us to the Bratislava castle. You do not need to confirm your participation.

+++ Parents: This is the final meal we will share together, and we have made plans to have 55 seats available in the Deerfield Academy party that will eat at Hostinec u Deda. The team will walk to the restaurant from Hotel Nivy, departing at approximately 19:00. Our assumption is that parents, families and friends of the players will want to join us for the meal. Can I please ask for you to confirm your participation, and how many seats you would like, as soon as possible? You can do this by email to Jan Flaska at [email protected].
