Rules |
1.
All members and their guests are subject to the authority of the
Chairman and Committee Members and all members are to ensure their guests
are aware of the Club Rules.
2.
The bookings list closes at 1200hrs on the Wednesday prior to the
walk. The CSRC can refuse to
accept bookings after this deadline.
Ramblers who book for a ramble and a meal, if one is organised and
do not turn up, remain liable for the subscription charge and the cost of
the meal, which must be paid for by the next walk.
3.
Members are to ensure that they and their guests are properly
equipped with the appropriate clothing and footwear for the tough terrain
and extreme climate of Cyprus. Footwear
such as sandals and flip-flops are not to be worn.
The Committee has the right to refuse anyone with inappropriate
footwear from entering the bus.
4.
Ramblers must stay behind the Walk Leader and in front of the
nominated Sweeper (Tail-End-Charlie) at all times.
If you have to leave the route for some reason you must inform the
sweeper, and tell him/her when you rejoin.
During official breaks, it is advised that men go into the bushes
at the front of the group and ladies to the rear..
When traffic approaches “Ramblers go to the Right”.
5.
Members and their guests participate in CSRC activities at their
own risk. The CSRC does not
have insurance cover for members. Members
are responsible for organising their own insurance cover if they require
it. You are advised to bring
your own First Aid Kit.
6.
The CSRC observes the Country Code at all times.
In particular members are asked to note that dogs should be kept on
a lead at all times. Dogs are
not allowed on the bus seats and any mess they make on the bus, must be
cleaned up by the owner. Please
do not pick fruit from orchards (sprayed fruit can be dangerous) and
always remember to take your litter home.
No smoking is allowed from boarding the coach until we reach the Taverna
at the end of the walk or the Walk Leader announces the end of the walk.
7.
The front seats on the bus are to be left for the Walks Leader and
Sweeper.
8. Anyone who attends three CSRC walks in one year is obliged to apply for membership. The Committee has the right to refuse to accept bookings from anyone ignoring this rule.
