Dress Standards (Abbreviated)

(This is a summary taken from the Local Rules found below)

Members are responsible for the dress standards of their guests and may be asked to leave where the appropriate standards are not met.

All approved uniforms may be worn in the Mess public rooms until 1930 h. Members are requested to be mindful when formal functions commence before 1930 h and limit their use of the Mess to those rooms not being used by the formal function.

Minimum standards for gentlemen is tailored shirt (long or short sleeve), trousers or tailored shorts and deck shoes. Ladies are expected to wear commensurate apparel.

The PMC will approve variations to the rules for theme-based social events (such as the Spring Ball) on an as-required basis.
