Ascot are sticking orange dots on the badges of racegoers who they say are, in their view, too scruffy.
Of course if they want to have a dress code that they want people to abide by they can but, why do they have to publicly ridicule people like this. Why can’t they just inform people what the code is and tell them to improve ? Idiots.
Glad I stayed at home now! I would like to given an orange sticker to the appalling food they provide to paying customers at Ascot.
Send a letter of complaint to the course management. If people don’t complain then there’s no chance of anything better.

And that’s what they were doing advising people – once a person had been "advised" the sticker was put on the badge so they would not be stopped and told again – the idea, which backfired spectacularly, was to prevent racegoers being constantly harassed throughout the afternoon.
What sort of attire would have got you a scruffy badge at Ascot today?
Mainly not wearing a jacket or tie in the Premier Enclosure
