Guest rules

As a reminder, members can bring guests at a guest fee of £5 per session. Each guest is limited to 3 visits. The £5 guest fee can be paid directly to a committee member or via the clubhouse letterbox. Please ensure that all guests are ‘signed in’ using the guest sheet which can be found in the clubhouse on the membership notice board. Committee members may conduct spot checks to ensure that all members are complying with club rules. This is important for insurance and health and safety purposes.
