Do not stay in the fursuit lounge longer than needed or enter if you aren't a suiters/assisting a suiter. The room is too small for people to stay longer than needed.

a) While some events may allow us to wear smaller items (such as tails or paws), there may be instances where this is not possible.
b) Most places, businesses or amusements do not allow the use of costumes on their premises for a variety of reasons. Because this is out of our control, it’s important to respect this.- 2. While our team will have a schedule or set plan in place for these events, if you choose to deviate from this or stray away from the group, Norfolk Furs cannot be held accountable for your actions.- 3. If you wish to attend one of our Invades events, you are expected to be able to fund your portion of the trip (travel, tickets, etc.). Every attendee is responsible for their payment and shares.
