Members' Corner

We had a query from a member about wet weather gear. Did you know that it states in the BD Rule Book that plain, dark-coloured waterproof coats may be worn in wet weather? This may be useful for us in Wales! It is always worth checking with the Judge first on the day.
 
With best wishes
