Travel expenses

Finance & Personnel Committee will allow reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses (mileage or standard class train) for voting delegates. Ticket receipts must be provided with expense forms. If driving, only the driver is entitled to claim mileage, and £10 car parking fee per day will be covered. We encourage car sharing.

Coaches have been organised throughout the event to ensure you are picked up from Newport train station, to and from the hotel and back to the station after the event. Due to the high parking prices, we advise delegates to park & leave their car at the ICC Wales throughout the event.

If this will be difficult for you, please inform us in the booking form under 'any reasonable adjustments'.
