Clay pigeon shooting

hsjsj

I have to go clay pigeon shooting this weekend in a club, I've never done anything like this before and I don't know what to wear I'm a student on a budget and can't really go to buy new stuff that I'll never use again as this is a once off event, when I looked it up online it just suggested tweed and safety gear, the safety gear is provided, but would jeans be acceptable to wear or will I stick out like a sore thumb

Wear what you want, it's all a bit of fun as long as you're safe and warm/dry.

Jeans, work pants, hoodie, jacket, boots, wellies, runners.
Whatever you want, chances are it'll be muddy this time of year tho.

You'll get more funny looks if you turned up in tweed.

Thanks I wasn't actually think of turining up in tweed, I just didn't now if a club cared what you wore, I figured it was semi fancy or something because of it being on club grounds and there being tea and stuff afterwards, but I guess I was probably over thinking it

Haha no thats more an english approach. Wear something comfortable but not too bulky. Its better u dont have too many clothes on and it can be hard to mount the gun.

This, exactly.
Think presentable outdoor work activity type clothing and footwear.

Bear in mind too, any clubs or ranges that I know of strongly disapprove of (or outright ban) special-operator/walter mitty 'soldier'/insurgent dress up fancy dress outfits.

You probably were over thinking it a bit. As the others have said, comfort is key. If you have something like a particularly comfortable fleece or jacket with fairly large pockets stick it on. You'll find it extremely handy to put your cartridges in.
