CHARTER

Attendance

1. The times of events will be published in a programme. All members will be informed in plenty of time of any change to these times, either verbally or by poster.
2. In the general interests of the success of the club, members are expected to support the club's activities as fully as their school, work and family commitments permit.
3. For safety and logistical reasons the leaders may sometimes have to restrict the number of young people admitted for an evening. Young people will be admitted on a first come first served basis. New people will only be registered if there is room.

   Behaviour

4. Honesty is encouraged.
5. No swearing, bad language, bullying (verbal or physical) or fighting.
6. No leaving the premises once club has begun without the permission of one of the leaders.
7. We do not allow the use of alcoholic drink, smoking or drugs on the premises or whilst engaged on club activities.
8. Be polite and considerate to everyone at the club, both members and visitors. Our reputation is dependent on what people see of us and bad reports can make life difficult for us all.
9. If you find yourself in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship at the club we would ask that you do not behave in any way that causes embarrassment or offence to others.
10. Please do not ask leaders and helpers to look after money, phones or valuables. You must take responsibility for anything you bring ? if you don?t want to lose it ? don?t bring it!
11. Members are required to respect both Club and Church property and at all times follow instructions from leaders and helpers.
12. If any damage occurs either to the church building or the equipment inform a leader immediately. Accidental damage is to be expected and honesty is encouraged and will not result in any action against the individual.
13. Certain special events may be considered as privilege events and leaders may restrict invitations to such events to:- full members (i.e. no visitors), or members who have earned the privilege and in the opinion of the leaders can be relied upon to behave in a manner which will reflect favourably on the good name of the Club. (Such events would be outside visits, camping weekends, etc).
14. It is intended that members should be encouraged and welcomed at all times. However, if it is considered that a member's behaviour is unsatisfactory then:-
    (i) The member may be given a 'yellow card' and will be told how long this will last for. Any further unacceptable behaviour while the yellow card is in force will result in (ii) and (iii) below.
    (ii) A leader may ask the member to leave for that evening and he/she may be escorted home.
    (iii) If a leaders meeting considers that continuation of membership is not in the interests of the club or the individual, he or she may be barred from some or all future meetings.
