Some important points to note

Shoot – no one under 18 years may carry an air pistol in a public place. Long trousers are compulsory. Substantial shoes (trainers are ideal) that don't reach the ankle bone must be worn i.e. No boots. Some events also insist on long sleeves.

Swim – most venues insist on a swimming hat

Running – if you wear running spikes don't forget to bring trainers as spikes are not always ideal on some terrain

Ride – Shirt and tie or stock should be worn under cross country shirts. Back protectors and medical armbands (on XC course) are compulsory. The gate should be open and closed whilst mounted and slip rail is negotiated un-mounted.
