   Other members and patrons have the right to enjoy themselves without fear for their safety or comfort. As always, consult a Member of Committee prior to taking action and do nothing to further aggravate the situation. Remember, aggression breeds aggression. All such incidents should be reported to the General Committee.
4.  It is illegal to serve alcohol outside the hours of the Licence.
   Members and patrons are allowed thirty minutes to finish their drinks following the close of trade. No service is to take place during this period.
