Women's Section
Standard Bearer
Wet Weather

In the event of a parade in bad or uncertain weather conditions Standard Bearers may wear a plain black or dark navy blue raincoat. In the interests of uniformity the raincoat should be single breasted.

The decision to wear raincoats should be taken by the Parade Marshal, and as much notice as possible should be given. A parade may need to be cancelled or dismissed if there is a sudden downpour and Standard Bearers are not wearing raincoats.

Consideration must also be given to possible rain damage to Standards.
