Royal Wootton Bassett Town are delighted to be welcoming our friends from FC 's-Gravenzande to England in April.
This will be the first visit from FC 's-Gravenzande since an exchange in 2017 and we look forward to reciprocating the fantastic hospitality they provide to our youth teams on an annual basis as part of the club's long-established Holland Tour.
FC 's-Gravenzande's Under 14 and 15 Boys' sides and their Under 15 Girls' team will be visiting from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 April.
45 youth players are due to be part of their tour party along with 15 adults (including two women).
To help with the trip, the club are seeking families willing to host and provide accommodation for our visitors.
In total, around thirty host families are sought, each of which will be required to bed and breakfast for at least two people.
Based on the planned itinerary, this requirement will involve providing bed and breakfast to guests for three nights, as well as dropping off and collecting them from the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground each morning and evening of their trip.
Host families will also be invited to attend a social evening at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground on Friday 25 April, which is to follow games between RWBTFC and our visitors from FC 's-Gravenzande.
This is a fantastic opportunity to host our partner club. And we hope that we will be able to find sufficient host families to provide our visitors with excellent hospitality and create memories that will last a lifetime - just as our Dutch friends do when we visit as part of the Holland Tour.
