So please take time to ensure you are conversant and if you are not sure ask the question.

To enhance out security CCTV is active at Roughgrounds and any incidents will be logged and reported to the committee.
Fish welfare and handling is of the most importance and we have asked that this year that all anglers have to have in their possession antispetic spray, which is to be used as required.
Failure to apply to HAC rules, will result in suspension or explusion.
Finally should any member have difficulty in following our club rules or find that you dislike how the club is managed, we would ask that you request to relinquish your membership and we will refund you pro rata.
