Members’ Conduct

As part of the application process all members must agree to abide by the standards of behaviour expected. These include not using excessive bad language, drugs, threatening behaviour or violence. Members may sign in a maximum of two guests at a time. Members with guests are resonsible for their conduct.

Members and guests may bring in children but these must be well-behaved and those under 12 must usually leave the Club by 9pm. At some events children will be allowed to stay later – this will be publicized in advance. Members may bring dogs into the club as long as they are kept under control on a lead at all times. Dogs are not allowed in the club during events.
