Guests

This club is for members and for us to continue we must ask that if you bring a guest from the local area that that guest be restricted to 3 visits after that it would be expected that that person join the club.

If your guests are from out of the area we don't expect a membership from them but all guests must sign in our book at the Entrance. 

It is imperative that all guests accompanied by a member sign (using their name NOT Guest) into the sign in book at the entrance to the property while using the facility. The Club needs to keep records for every guest (for insurance and liability reasons) and we must know who and when you have guests.

Please don't abuse this amazing privilege.
