Tom, I haven't seen anything about dress code, but heard there were a few sharply dressed punters in attendance last year.  Can you get away with casual wear, or would you at least say shirt and trousers?
Most shops wear trousers with their company polo shirts.

One punter arrived wearing a superb three piece suit tie and matching hanky combo last year - there were rumours he was the Stig in disguise.

I noticed that Gentleman - the suit was fitted and he had a very nice hat which seemed to have a dark visor!
He would stand and ponder at the stands, motionless for many minutes, silently pondering perhaps? Before suddenly moving onto the next stand! His footwork between the stands was light, quick and effortless!
Buzz, I think you could be correct!

Well, it is a gentleman's game, so that's only fitting really (excuse the pun).  I might do the same actually, just for kicks! I do have the tailored suit and hankies - will just have to dust them down first and get the iron out!

I would hazard a guess that everyone who was originally in the hat will have the chance?
And next time Dan  8)

As am I, anyone from the forum at Twickenham today? Or tomorrow? I will be there tomorrow... Lord's seems to have overshadowed Twickenham a bit.
