The Club reserves the right to revoke memberships, seasonal corporate hospitality packages or casual hospitality tickets should an offence or situation warranting a ban arise or be committed. The Club reserves the right to apply penalties without compensation at its discretion.

This policy is applicable also in circumstances where a patron may loan their membership card or seasonal corporate hospitality passes to others. If the guest using the card or pass breaches the code, the member will still be subject to suspension or sanction.
