GUESTS - There will be a sign-in sheet at the beach gate this season, and we ask all members to please sign in when they arrive each day.

Members may bring guests to the beach at any time. However, we request that guests be accompanied by an association member at all times while they are on the beach grounds. To help more appropriately apportion the costs of maintaining the beach facilities according to actual usage, we are now asking for a small contribution from members who do bring guests. Subject to the rules on beach parties below, members may bring a guest or guests, without charge, for up to five separate days each season. Beyond that, members will be asked to contribute $10.00 per guest family or $2.00 per individual guest, for each day’s access to the beach. There will be a lock box at the sign-in desk at the beach gate and our summer staff will be available to help administer these policies and assist you with any questions.

WATERCRAFT - Only members in good standing are permitted to keep boats, canoes, kayaks or any other watercraft on association property. The association will be periodically surveying the property to ensure that only members’ boats that are registered with the association are stored on its lakeside property.

Member boat owners must register their boats with the association. Members should identify the type of boat and its location on the beach grounds on their membership application. Once membership payment is made, each registered member boat owner can pick up their two MBC Decal Stickers by contacting either Phyllis Deegan or Michael Zachary. Registered member boat owners should apply one of the MBC Decal Stickers on the inside of their boat and the other in a visible place on the outside.

All boats on the association property must be registered with the association and have the current MBC Decal Stickers applied on them by June 30 of each year. Any boats without current MBC Decal Stickers on them after that time may be removed by the association.

If you would like to store a boat on association property for the first time after the June 30 deadline, please contact either Phyllis Deegan or Michael Zachary.

The association may periodically install new boat racks on association property. Storage on these racks is available on a “first come first serve” basis only to properly registered boats with the current MBC Decal Stickers on them.

The association is not responsible for, or liable for, any boating crafts kept on its property.

BEACH PARTIES - The association does permit members to host private parties on the beach grounds, provided that certain rules and guidelines are respected. The beach is never closed to its members during any private party, so it’s important that any private party not infringe on the use of the beach facilities by other members who may be on the beach at the same time.

If your party size will exceed 15 persons, please follow these guidelines:

· All parties must be pre-booked by contacting Phyllis Deegan.
· A $50 fee (paid in advance and non-refundable except for cancellation due to rain) will be assessed for any party with more than 10 non-members.
· Parties for kids (e.g., birthday parties) may be booked anytime on Monday-Friday and on Saturday between 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
· Other parties may be booked for any time beginning at, or after, 4.p.m. except as otherwise stated below.
· No parties may be booked on the same day the beach club is sponsoring a party or activity.
· Parties may not be booked on state or federal holiday weekends.
· Because the beach remains open to members, the activities need to be adequately supervised to avoid undue interference with use of the beach.
· Participants are responsible for leaving the beach in the same condition as it was found (e.g., clean-up papers, decorations, put tables and chairs back).
· Trash and recyclables must be removed from the beach in participant provided receptacles. (Use of the black garbage bin is not permitted because it cannot accommodate a weeks worth of trash and the trash from large events.)
· All Beach Club rules apply.

The Board reserves the right to modify these rules generally (or address specific issues caused by any activity or event on a case-by-case basis).
