Persons under the age of 16 must be accompanied by and in the care of a nominated adult who is responsible for them throughout the event. The CC team shall not be liable or responsible for any direct, indirect, consequential or accidental damage, injury, loss, accident, delay or irregularity of any kind which may be occasioned by reason of any act or omission of any third party.
