A Reminder of our Rules & Regulations

The club is becoming increasingly active as the weather warms, and we are delighted to welcome everyone back to Figure 8 Island. As we approach the summer months, we kindly ask that all members keep the club’s Rules & Regulations in mind, as outlined below:

RULES & REGULATIONS, DRESS CODE:

Lunch

Casual. Shirt and shorts required for Gentlemen. Cover-ups required for ladies. Shoes must be worn at all times when visiting the Clubhouse. Please, no tank tops or exposed midriffs. Cut-offs are never allowed in the dining rooms.

Dinner

Casual. Collared shirts (no t-shirts) and Bermuda length shorts are appropriate for Gentlemen; equally appropriate attire for ladies is requested. Please, no tank tops or exposed midriffs. Cut-offs are never allowed in the dining rooms. Hats and ball caps are prohibited inside the Clubhouse in the evening. Jeans are permitted in the Club.

RULES & REGULATIONS, CONDUCT:

It is early spring and we are beginning to see increased incidents of apparent excessive alcohol consumption as guests are arriving for dinner at the Club.

Please be reminded, as a Member-Of-Record, you are responsible for the behavior of your guests, at all times while on the Club campus. That responsibility should begin prior to entering the club grounds, and throughout your visits. Taking responsibility after an offending incident has occurred, while expected, is too late, and in fact a failure of responsibility.
