Refreshments

It is never a guarantee that the organisers will provide food or refreshments to buy on site, therefore we recommend bringing your own sandwiches, snacks and water.

We advise against bringing any food with any kind of sauce as it may leak and possibly stain your uniform. We also strongly advise against eating or drinking while wearing your uniform, please put your tracksuit on over to avoid any accidents.

Parking

There is parking available on-site at the venue, but with so many attendees, please make sure you allow enough time so you are not in a rush. 

It is not known if the parking is free or paid for the event, so please bring small change for parking if required.

Good luck Warriors!
