It is very important that all spectators strictly abide by the ground rules to ensure that this event is carried out
without any untoward incidents to the weekend's proceedings.

Please note that alcoholic drinks will not be sold to persons under the age of 18. Any persons under 18 found

means of re-entering. Under no circumstances will anyone be allowed back in without a pass.
