ALCOHOL

BOTTLED WATER

CAMP SITE
The site is made available as a result of the goodwill of the people of Perth. Security will again be in evidence this year to try and combat noise, thefts and vandalism. Help us retain this important feature of the Tournament by using common sense and obeying the rules and Fire Regulations (see Camp Site Fire Regulations in the Rules).
Failure to do so may result in having to move your tent by order of the Fire Officer.
Without this co-operation we are in danger of losing our camping provision, which is a major asset of the Tournament. No tent shall be pitched until it has been registered. All campers must register at the official caravan located on the North Inch.
NB The Camp Site will not be available until 5.00pm on Friday.
