General Behaviour

This is a junior trial, and should be treated with such importance. The intake of alcohol is not recommended. You can be breathelised at any point once your competition commences and can be eliminated if found to be over the limit. You can party after the competition is over for you (hopefully celebrate!).

Please enjoy the whole experience! Don’t be afraid to ask questions (no matter how trivial or silly they sound) I want to wish you all the best of luck, this is the first major goal for the year!

Good luck

Debbie
