If it's like our club and several others I've been to, getting hardware to shoot with is no problem. Many folks will lend you a gun or let you shoot with them using their guns. My first match I didn't have a proper shotgun and had about a dozen volunteers offering to loan me one.
At our club we're not to worried about the clothing, especially with a new shooter. We have between 1 and 5 new shooters most months and we'll let them wear their street shoes and whatever for the first match. We do ask that they at least wear jeans and no t-shirts, tennis shoes or ball caps after that though. We tell them that a cheap western style shirt from one of the X-Marts is fine along with a pair of work boots and jeans until they figure out if they want to stick with CAS and can acquire the correct duds. We realize that it can get expensive to outfit oneself for CAS matches, therefore we make accomodations and let everyone build up gradually. after all, as you said, it's all for fun.
Hope you enjoy your match.
