The registration site is now open again for all association leads to register the names of any additional participants that wish to march. The accreditation portal will close once the maximum capacity of 10,000 has been met, or on Friday 30 September (whichever happens first). We will be unable to accept any additional names after this date.
Our Association has been allocated a total of 10 tickets, of which only there are 7 tickets remaining. Please note, places will be issued on a first come first served basis.
Anyone wishing to attend should note that as you have to muster on Horse Guards Parade by 9.30am on 13 Nov you should plan to stay overnight in London on 12 Nov. Rail companies and Transport for London have offered free return travel, this is not guaranteed to always be the case and it is the responsibility of individuals to check with their rail ticket provider.
