CLUBHOUSE RENTAL RULES
The Clubhouse is available to all Members for private functions between 9:00 am and 11:00 pm.

The maximum time allowed for any private function is six (6) hours, including set-up and clean-up.
The Clubhouse must be reserved in advance for private functions by submitting a reservation application and the required reservation fee. Reservation applications shall be reviewed and, if approved, granted on a first come, first served basis (see Instructions for Submitting a Request to Rent the Clubhouse).
CLUBHOUSE CAPACITY & RESTRICTIONS: The number of individuals allowed in the Clubhouse common area at any one time must not exceed sixty-five (65).

HOST RESPONSIBILITIES: The Member Host must be in the Clubhouse at all times during the private function to make sure their guests comply with these regulations and respect the rights and property of all our Members. Children must be supervised at all times, and they must stay within the Clubhouse unless accompanied in common areas by an adult. The area rented includes the Main Room, Room with Tables, Kitchen, and Rest Rooms (it does not include the Entrance Hallway).

No tape or tacks can be used on the walls to put up decorations. The reserving Member may place a “Function in Progress” sign on the front door of the Clubhouse to avoid unnecessary interruptions.

DAMAGE & LIABILITY: Prior to the rental, a member of the Board will make arrangements with the renter to do a pre-rental inspection of the Clubhouse to review it's condition. Also, as soon as possible after the completion of the Clubhouse rental session, the renter will again be asked to join a Board member for a post-rental inspection of the property to make a determination with regard to the return of the security deposit. Members will be held responsible for any repairs required as a result of damage done when using the Clubhouse. Should damage occur to the Clubhouse, its furnishings or structure, it must immediately be reported to the Board of Directors via ProCom, the property manager. Failure to do so may result in loss of deposit and/or loss of Clubhouse privileges. Use of the Shipley’s Crossing Clubhouse is at your own risk.
