CODE OF CONDUCT
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR JOCK PARTY UK
JOCK is a private members’ club for gay and bisexual males (and male-presenting non-binary) age 18 years and over.
Your safety is our primary concern. JOCK has first aiders at every event. If you feel unwell, or spot someone who looks like they need medical help, please let a member of staff know so that JOCK can offer them assistance and first aid as required.
JOCK runs all of our events with an underwear or sports kit dress code and expects members to make an effort to comply. The only exception to this is JOCK LITE where a more relaxed take on the dress code is permitted. Please see the JOCK dress code for more details. If you need advice on the outfit you plan to wear, please send an email to info@jockparty.com attaching any photos which may help us advise. You may be asked to leave if you are not in compliance with the dress code.
THE DETAILS:
Members should be civil to each other at all times.
Members should follow and comply with, instructions given by JOCK management, JOCK event staff and venue staff. These instructions are for your own safety and the safety of other members and guests.
Members will be required to abide by our dress code for those events where a dress code is in effect.
By default, the dress code will apply at all JOCK events although in exceptional cases and for some events the dress code may be waived. For example, events branded JOCK LITE’ are taster events and sometimes run with more relaxed dress requirements.
Members should respect other people and their choices at the event.

Members should understand that only consensual acts between adults are permitted. If someone says ‘no’ then you will respect that decision and abide by it without question. JOCK always supports the rule that “No means no”.
