General Information
SPECIAL NEEDS FACILITIES
Special arrangements will only be made for wheelchair users. They must bring their own wheelchair and should be accompanied by an able-bodied helper. There will be a designated area for all wheelchair users inside the Satsang Hall. Those wishing to secure a space in this area, please contact your coordinator / secretary before the 31st of January 2012.
As there will be only chair seating inside the Satsang Hall, elderly members of the sangat and those with restricted mobility will not have a problem acquiring a seat.
Arrangements have been made to pick up the elderly or those with mobility problems from the pick-up points in the parking areas and bring them to the main building entrance, where sevadars with wheelchairs will assist them, if required, to enter the Satsang Hall.
Other than temporary wheelchair transport from the main building entrance to the Satsang Hall, the Centre will not provide any wheelchair for use during the visit.
Please click here for details of a local company where wheelchair or any other medical equipment may be rented.
FIRST AID
Only minor medical problems arising on the day and urgent medical situations will be dealt with by the First Aid service. All other cases will be referred to local clinics or hospitals. Visitors are advised to travel with proper medical insurance, required medications, and are expected to take care of their own medical needs.

LOST AND FOUND
Mobile phones, pagers, cameras, binoculars, laser pointers, MP3 players including ipods, audio & video recorders or any other electronic items must not be brought into the premises. Anybody carrying any of these items must deposit them in the Lost and Found Counter located near the main gate. Any items lost or found may be claimed from or reported to the Lost and Found counter. Please note that this counter closes at 1:30 pm.
BOOKSTALL
Books, CDs, DVDs, photos, audio and videotapes on Sant Mat will be available in different languages. The bookstall will open immediately after the satsang programme until 1:30 pm.
PRE-PACKED LUNCH
A pre-packed meal consisting of a dosa wrap (gluten free, potato and peas wrap), a cereal bar, an apple and a juice will be available after the satsang programme at a cost of 2 Euros. The meal is not large, so those wishing to use it as a main meal may want to purchase more than one. Pre-packed lunches may be picked up immediately after the satsang programme in the basement area of the main building. Tickets will be sold in advance at your local centre until the 31st of January of 2012, so please check with your coordinator / secretary for details. Although the meals are the same on all three days, the tickets will be valid only on their designated day. For each day there will be a different colour ticket. Tickets will also be available for sale during the event at designated counters. However, as these will be limited in number, the sangat is advised to purchase their tickets in advance at their local centres.
WATER
Drinking water is available at the water stalls throughout the premises.
CAR PARK
There are three car parks available on the premises (Parking A, B & C). The sangat is requested to follow the sevadars' instructions for parking. Kindly remember in which parking area your car has been parked. Sangat arriving by car with children are requested to park in Parking C as it is the closest to the Family Area. Please check that car lights and alarms are turned off. Do not leave children unattended in cars, even for a short time. There will be pick-up points in each parking area where sevadars with cars will drive the elderly and those with moblity problems to the main entrance.
