RULES AND FEES FOR HOST MEMBERS

Members hosting guests will need to note the following rules and fees for bringing guests to the Club:

• Guests (except for immediate family) are limited to five visits per season. Guests are limited to pool usage of one time per week. The host member may pre-register an out-of-town guest (“house guest”) with the club manager for a period not to exceed two weeks, and a special guest pass will be issued upon payment of the designated fee. Further extensions may be granted only by approval of the Board of Directors.
• Guests are asked to abide by all pertinent tennis court and pool rules, etiquette and attire. Please ask your host member for details.
• An active member may take one or more guests to midweek dinners, special events and Saturday night dinners, with the exception of the Opening Night dinner and the New Members Show dinner.
