House Rules - Strand Sessions
Please read these carefully. Our club is run by student volunteers and we kindly ask that you treat us with respect and kindness, and are aware of our policies and procedures as documented below.
1
Lateness
If you are 10 minutes late we reserve the right to refuse entry to the training session, it may run late and affect the next session's timings and is not fair or courteous to the other members. Whether to let you in to have a shorter session is up to the RO's discretion. If you are running late please message the Group chat ASAP to let us know. If you are more than 10 minutes late 3 times you will be prevented from booking another training session until you have paid a £5 fine. Please research travel disruptions when planning your journey to the Strand Range via the TfL and National Rail websites.

Late Cancellations/No Shows
If you do not show up to your booked training session and you do not tell us in advanced you will be blocked from booking onto a further session unless you pay a £5 fine. For appeals with genuine reason please contact the Club President. If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice this is treated as a late/no show unless you can find another person to take up your training slot. If you cancel with less than 24h notice 3 times you will be blocked from booking further training slots until you pay a £5 fine.

By joining our club as a member, and booking onto our training sessions you agree to abide by our Club Rules, our Range Safety Rules, and all NRA/ NSRA/ KCLSU/ KCL policies. We have a ZERO tolerance policy for any inappropriate behaviour on and off the range.
