Clubhouse Rules

At the Kiama SLSC Club House, our mission is to foster a vibrant and inclusive community where members can enjoy a safe, respectful, and enriching environment. To uphold these values and ensure the well-being of our community, we have established a set of rules and guidelines. These rules are designed not only to maintain order and cleanliness but also to promote a sense of responsibility and consideration among our members. By adhering to these rules, each member contributes to the creation of a positive and harmonious space where everyone can fully enjoy the facilities and activities offered by our club. Let us collectively uphold these standards, recognizing that our commitment to shared values enhances the overall experience for every individual within the Kiama SLSC community.
