The same date starts transport and meals if those heads exist. Board minimum-attendance rules still apply after the child has joined. Do not invent exemptions. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
