Members are to restrict their parking in River Rd to the Club's new frontage, leaving sufficient clearance at the Car Park entrance to allow good visibility and ease of exit/entrance by trailers.
These bye-laws may only be added or changed by a two thirds majority of Committee Members present at a Committee meeting, due notice having been given of the proposed changes.
