5) Camping is only allowed in the grassy area in front of the cottages.

6) Please make no excessive noise after midnight, there are dormitories right above you!

7) Cave permits (where necessary) must be arranged before arrival.
See www.swcc.org.uk/caving/ to find out about Access and Permits.

8) Every caving party must fill out a trip ticket and hang it on the destination board, so we know who is underground and when to expect their return. See www.swcc.org.uk/caving/access/ .

9) Guests are expected to clear up promptly after eating and to help keep the eating and food preparation areas clean and tidy. Spare cleaning materials are in the cupboard in the Dining Room.

10) We no longer have recycling bins; please come prepared to take all your Glass, Cans and Cardboard away with you.

11) The showers and changing areas do get dirty, but it would help if you could assist by hosing them down after you have used them.

12) Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the cottages - this is now a legal requirement. Well behaved dogs are allowed only in the Small Common Room and signing in area.

13) Please keep the toilet areas clean and tidy. The loo roll stock is in the loft above the gents.

14) Guests may use the Library if it is open, but they may not borrow any materials without permission from the Librarian.

15) If you are the last to leave the building please follow the switching off instructions on the fuse board in the main passage.

16) If there is a problem, please bring it to the attention of the Duty Officer or a committee member, failing that here are a couple of local members you can contact.
