  • Members and Guests violating any rules or regulations of the club, or demonstrating behaviour deemed by the Steward or Committee to be detrimental to the welfare, good order, safety or character of the club or its Members, including language that is foul, abusive, rude, threatening, homophobic, racist or any of the ‘ists’ or the slightest hint of bullying or violence will be asked to leave the Clubhouse immediately and will be subject to the Club’s disciplinary procedures as well as those of their own section.
  • Members and Guests are expected to show respect to the Clubhouse and Grounds ensuring the appropriate use of all our facilities at all times. Members, their Guests and Visitors must treat the Clubhouse, Grounds, Staff and Members with courtesy and respect at all times.
  • Members may use the kitchen, including for functions, only with the prior agreement of the Steward. The kitchen and all equipment, utensils, crockery and cutlery must be left clean, tidy and in their correct storage. The Steward may, at their discretion, levy a £50 cleaning charge if the kitchen is left in an unsatisfactory state.
  • Children are to be supervised at ALL times both inside and outside the Clubhouse. In the interests of the safety and comfort of all club Members and Guests please do not allow your children to run around the Bar/Lounge area or the car-park. Children are not allowed in the Snooker Room unless accompanied by a Member.

  • The decisions of the Steward or Committee are final in all aspects of Members and Guests safety and comfort.
  • The Committee of the Club reserves the right to amend and add to these conditions of membership and rules as it sees fit and Members and Guests shall observe any amended or additional conditions or rules so made.
