If you want to share a room with another team member to help cut costs, please discuss it with them and let me know so I can allocate the rooms accordingly.
You are welcome to stay in another hotel and the FHLTA will still subsidise up to the equivalent of 25% of the team hotel on producing appropriate receipts of your hotel booking.
You will be required to pay the invoice by 24/6/26
All competitors will be asked to sign a 2026 FHLTA subsidy letter to protect the charity from misuse.
The accommodation was chosen because of the reasonable price, it has a gym which can be used free of charge for customers as well as free wifi. It is situated in the city centre, and it is at a reasonable distance between all sports venues. In addition it is by bus and tram routes. It is a 7min taxi ride from the train station.

Events :
Competitors can take part in up to 4 events but not two events on the same day.
- Can do 4 athletics events in one day eg. 100m, 200m, 800m, javelin BUT cannot do two different events e.g. Volleyball and archery which are different events but both take place Thursday.
Social events are not included in the 4 and are not limited so can do the donor run/walk in addition to 4 other events!!
Medical:
There are no requirements this year to complete a medical. You will be asked to sign a waiver when you register online. You are taking responsibility for being fit and well enough to compete in the events for which you have registered. I would Recommend if you have any doubts to discuss it with staff at clinic.
You need to take with you a list of your medication and your hospital number. Provide them at your online registration with contact numbers for our transplant clinic and out-of-hours ward.
Insurance:
Competitors and supporters are advised to take out appropriate individual insurance including for covid 19.
Payments:
I will issue individual invoices when registration closes. I will start sending those when registration closes 24th May so you have lots of notice regarding payment, however, if you only register on last day of registration then you will have a shorter time as all invoices will need to be paid by 24th of June as the Freeman will receive their invoice from Transplant sport shortly after and all monies will need to have been paid. Therefore, registering earlier will be likely be more beneficial for you.
Remember the FHLTA will pay the competitors registration fee and 33% towards competitors travel to and from the games.
Closing party:
This year there is no Gala like previous years. This year you can choose to go the closing party as seen on the online registration, however a visit to the venue has been made by the FHLTA managers and we have decided that it would likely be best if we organize our own closing event. This would involve a team meal and then another activity. We will shortly have an online poll of possible options and go with a majority. You are still welcome to attend transplant sport closing party, just make sure you choose this when registering, however we will not be attending as a team.
Previously the FHLTA have paid for the adult competitors’ gala tickets Adults. However, this year FHLTA plan to contribute towards whatever we choose as a team to do on the Sunday evening instead of the transplant sport closing party.

The donor run is open to all – it is advised to register for this during your online registration and not on the day of the donor run as it will not be guaranteed there will be enough safe space for any additional number of runners and there may be not enough medals available at the finish line. Also, due to safety reasons if you forget your running number you WILL NOT be allowed to run.
Athletics – This will be indoors this year Track and Field will be on the Sunday. However, throwing sports javelin and discus will be at Woodburn Road which is outdoors and will take place on the Saturday.
Every venue is in the city centre.
Pétanque is 2.9 miles from team hotel. Ten pin bowling is 7.5 miles from team hotel which is the furthest away venue.
19min drive/ 4.9mile to golf club. This is the furthest away venue from team hotel crown plaza. Every other venue is closer to the team hotel.
