2009 Season
MEMBERSHIP : Membership runs from
the 1st April to the 31st March and is not transferable.
There is a sliding scale of membership rates from a modest fee for
social members, chukka, junior, etc. to full playing membership.
Please apply to The Secretary for full details of Membership and
Application Form.
CLUB RULES IN RELATION TO SAFETY AND INSURANCE
Safety helmets must
be worn by anyone riding on the Club’s
property.
Stick &
Balling/Exercising/Schooling: There will be designated
areas for this, weather permitting, at no charge to members. Any
playing member found taking anyone to stick and ball at the grounds
that is not a playing member of the club and covered by HPA insurance
will automatically incur a fine and a ban from playing until the
fine is paid, as this is a breach of Club Rules.
Lessons to
Club Playing Members on the Club’s Premises: The
only people entitled to give lessons to other CPC playing members
on the Club’s grounds or premises are The Cheshire Polo Club
Official Coaches, the Club’s Professional players and playing
members who have paid their full Club and HPA subscriptions or any
visiting HPA Coach who has a pre-arranged invitation from the Committee
of the CPC.
Lessons to
Non Club Members: The only person entitled to give lessons
to Non Club Members is an Official CPC Coach who has the authorisation
of the Club’s Committee and can give lessons to non CPC members
on the Club’s premises who have paid their HPA Affiliation
Fee. The Club’s Committee will only give authorisation for
non HPA Qualified Coaches after sight of a valid Third Party Public
Liability Insurance Cover.
Grooms Riding
their Employer’s Ponies: Grooms employed and paid
by CPC playing members who have paid the Club and HPA subscription
may exercise their employer’s ponies on the Club exercise
areas and “stick and ball” areas but not play in practice
chukkas unless they have joined as a Chukka member or pay chukka
fees as a non member together with their full HPA affiliation fee.
Member’s
Responsibilities: Each member of the Club is responsible
for ensuring that all their employees, professional players and
grooms, are aware of and abide by the Club’s Rules.
Insurance:
The Club recommends to all playing members that while the HPA insurance
only currently covers them for third party liability that each playing
member takes out their own personal accident insurance policy.
Persons and
Vehicles are admitted on condition that neither the Cheshire
Polo Club Committee nor any person acting for them, will be responsible
or liable for any accident, injury or illness, damage or claim arising
directly or indirectly to any persons, horses, dogs, vehicles or
property however such damage, injury or loss may be caused.
