Restrictions on Members Bringing Guests for Sectional Activities
This rule has been in existence over time but sadly not enforced diligently for a variety of reasons.
Please also be advised that Membership at the SSC is an individual membership and does not have a category classification of “Family Membership”. As such, the rule applies to spouses & children too who are not members. We urge your immediate family members who are interested in using the Club's facilities to join as members as early as possible.
