If guests turned up at a meet in casual gear...

[jennywren07]

i've only been out once and that was cubbing (autumn hunting/hound exercise??) when i called the secretary and explained i was a wimp and would prob onlybe coming out that once i was just asked to dress as smart as possible ideally in tweed but if not ablack jacket would be fine.

It never occured to me not to ask that my black jacket would be ok rather than traditional tweed? Thereis a dress codefor a reason after all but i do think it can only help a hunts image if they are a bit flexible with us newcomers, at least for the first couple of goes

...would they be turned away?
Just curious really. Say a couple of teenagers turned up at a meet with your pack wearing checked jods, bronte jackets, scarves, etc, would they have their cap taken and be allowed to go on - or would they be asked to come back when they are more suitably dressed for hunting?

Just a quick point; they wouldn't actually be 'guests' though as guests are usually invited/sanctioned for that day by the hunt secretary or Masters.
It obviously depends from pack to pack but I imagine they would be asked to smarten up in future if they came again. After all, if they went to any other discipline they would have to wear correct dress so why should hunting with all the traditions it has of being very smart, be any different.
