CLUB RULES
1. Members may not organize Club runs without first obtaining permission. Where
permission is required to access property, an executive member of the Club must,
before a trip commences be contacted and notified that permission has been received
from the property owner or controller. At all times the Club Captain shall appoint one
member present at any Club activity as Trip Leader who will be in full charge of the
party. All members must comply with the Trip Leader’s instructions and requests.
2. NO Firearms or Dogs to be carried on Club trips.
3. NO alcohol to be consumed during Club activities. The Committee may vary this rule
for specific occasions.
4. Dangerous driving or stupidity on a trip is not permitted and any member indulging in
this sort of activity will be severely reprimanded.
5. When on a Club run, whether on the road or trail, each driver will keep the following
vehicle visible in his rear vision as much as practicable. If you lose sight of the
following vehicle, ease up and wait for it. If after a reasonable time it still fails to catch
up go back and look for it. It could have broken down, gone off the track or be
requiring other assistance.
6. When closed gates are encountered the leading vehicle shall open the gate and the
second vehicle will pull to one side and wait for the convoy to pass through. The
second vehicle will then close the gate and rejoin the convoy ahead of the Tail End
Charlie. This ensures that no one person is continually left to open and close gates.
The Trip Leader may amend this rule to suit the prevailing conditions.
