Forms are available from the Club Manager.

The limit will depend on the nature of the event, reasonable capacity of the facilities and staff, parking arrangements available to the sponsoring member, and expected general membership activities at the requested time.

The sponsoring member should indicate on the agreement form what parking arrangements he or she will make.
