Proposed transfer To ensure we have kept costs down we have the coach transfer from CamVc to Gatwick, however we have decided for the return that we would like parents to collect from Gatwick. To make this as economical as possible, some of you may opt into sharing with others to collect. Or you may wish to meet your child in arrivals, celebrating their mini Olympics experience.
