LIQUOR REGULATIONS:
In accordance with the Liquor Laws of the Province of British Columbia, liquor or beer must be purchased in the Club and may be consumed in the Marine Lounge, the Model Room, Trophy and Fireplace Lounge on the Main Floor, the Star & Dragon and the Dining Room, from 1100 hours until 2400 hours.

Members are reminded that it is not permissible to bring their bottled liquor to the Dining Room tables during normal Luncheons or Dinners. This restriction is waived at Club-sponsored functions.

SMOKING REGULATIONS:
Smoking is not permitted within the Club premises at any time. Provincial and municipal legislation have designated significant portions of the Club’s exterior as Smoking Prohibited. The legislation effectively bans smoking on all club decks, patios, lawns with an additional 6-metre Smoking Prohibited buffer zone around these areas and all windows, doorways and air intakes. The legislation effectively eliminates smoking from 90% of all exterior areas of Club property.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
Members are reminded that a 72-hour Cancellation Policy is in effect for reservations to Clubhouse events. Members will be charged the full event price if their reservation is cancelled with less than 72 hours notice or if they do not cancel their reservation at all. A minimum $250 cancellation fee will be charged for any private room cancelled without 48 hours’ notice.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:
Neither Club facilities nor membership information are to be used for commercial purposes. Private meeting rooms may be booked and used for business meetings.

It is NOT acceptable to:
• display paperwork of any kind in dining or lounge facilities;
• advertise products, services or commercial enterprises on Club premises (except as approved by the Board of Directors in connection with Club-sponsored events);
• overtly solicit any business or promotion;

• post signs advertising a member’s property for sale except on bulletin boards approved for that purpose.

Soundless communication is acceptable on the Garden Level for all devices in all areas, headphones are allowed. If you need to make a phone call, please use the designated phone area in the hall.

In closed private meeting rooms, any wireless device can be used in any way necessary, provided that use does not interfere with the enjoyment of others outside of the room.

MINORS:
Members are reminded that, as a rule, minors are not permitted on the third floor of the Clubhouse unless the Star & Dragon restaurant is unexpectedly closed. Children aged 12 and up can dine with their parents in the Marine Lounge until 2100 hrs on Sunday evenings. Junior members may be permitted to have meals in the Main Dining Room at the discretion of management.

STAFF:
The conduct of staff of the Club shall in no case be made subject of personal reprimand by any member. Members having cause for complaint, including conduct of the Club’s Employees or of other members or their guests, must place such complaint in writing to the General Manager. Unseemly conduct will not be tolerated on the Club premises, and any member guilty of such conduct will be called before the Board of Directors and be subject to suspension or such other disciplines as provided for in Bylaw 52.

GUESTS:
Members are responsible for the conduct and acts of their guests. Out of courtesy to local residents, members and guests leaving the property after 2000 hours are requested to do so as quietly as possible. Children are permitted as dinner guests in the Main Dining Room and the Star & Dragon. Guests must at all times be properly registered in the Visitor’s Book and accompanied by the member who is introducing them.

Private functions are restricted to Club members or those sponsored by members. For reservations, members should apply to the office well in advance of the date desired. All are reminded that Bylaws 55 and 57 apply to a function sponsored by a member, most particularly the first sentence of Bylaw 55, which reads “Any member... may have the privilege of introducing a guest into the Club as long as the member accompanies the guest.”
