Buses to the opening ceremony goes from the busstops at Ersängsskolan and Bräntbergsskolan and back afterwards. NOTE: no buses drive into the schools, they only stop at our bus stops. For those of you living at Mariehemsskolan and Mariebergsskolan take a short walk to Bräntbergsskolans bus stop.
You who live at the Hagaskolan (about 20 minutes) and Maja Beskowgymnasiet (about 20 minutes) take a nice walk so that you are in place well in advance.
NOTE! For those of you who go by bus to the opening ceremony, it is important to go in good time, as there are many teams who want to go and there is limited space on each bus.
