Have made the guests known to the event organiser

Have signed the disclaimer

Ensure that their guests have fun, but conduct themselves in an appropriate manner befitting a family orientated organisation at all times

​

Where a guest is also riding it is the members’ responsibility to ensure that their guest understands our riding policy, and asks the guest to spend a few minutes with a Road Captain.

​

The Road Captain will go through our riding policy and then ask the guest to sign a disclaimer. If they do not sign a disclaimer and agree to abide by our riding policy then they will not be able to ride with us.

​

A riding guest should, in normal circumstances, be limited to 2 rides per season. If they want to ride more than 2 times with the Chapter then they should be asked to become a member in their own right.

​

Guests’ attendance at riding events will be recorded by the Road Captain leading the ride and reviewed on a monthly basis by the Head Road Captain.
