Hi.
Welcome day - wear something comfortable. Clean jeans, t-shirt/shirt, jumper, trainers are all fine. If it's anything like the one I went to, you'll spend most of the time sitting round a table being talked to or watching videos.
Working day - again, something comfortable. Something suitable for the weather forecast! Not jeans as they can make you very hot and they hold water if it rains. Loose fitting trousers or even knee length shorts, with several pockets. T-shirt/ polo/shirt, loose fitting. Waterproof coat if forecast is rain. All clean and no big logos or slogans etc. Trainers or shoes with a decent grip that are comfortable to walk 6-10 miles in.
When I joined I had to send bank details in a reply to an email.
