D 9550 Guidelines for the GSE Hosts

Families will contribute much to the comfort and convenience of their guest if they

enquire promptly on arrival of the guest, about laundry, dry cleaning, and other

personal requirements. Please allow ample time and opportunity for the conduct of

these special services. The hosting of a guest implies supplying breakfast and any

other unscheduled meals. Ask the guests about their breakfast habits.

Hosts should recognise that members of the team are successful and well established

business or professional persons.

Hosts should try and operate their homes in as near to normal manner as possible. The

team wants to learn about our normal family life.

Hosts are requested not to make demands on their guests that will put them is a

situation where conflict with the Official Itinerary occurs. In other words, please

consult with the Itinerary before making plans for other outings/activities etc. In all

cases, the Itinerary takes precedence over everything else.

It would be appreciated if hosts could explain the rules for use of the phone to their

guests

Punctuality is essential for the smooth running of the program. Please ensure ample

time for your guests to be called for, or delivered in time for the first engagement of

the day.

FREE TIME IS VERY PRECIOUS. DON’T TRY TO DO TOO MUCH FOR YOUR

GUESTS. GIVE THEM A CHOICE AND CONSULT WITH THEM AS TO WHAT

THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO. THEY MAY JUST WISH TO CATCH UP ON

SLEEP!

Hosts should be prepared to discuss our social and economic problems. The exchange

of ideas is essential to the program and hosts should take the opportunity to learn

something of another part of the world.

Transport

Transportation is the responsibility of each of the clubs hosting our guests. Host clubs

are requested to appoint at least two members for standby transportation emergencies.

Enjoy
