Violation of Club Rules: Removal, Banning, Reinstatement
The Manager, a Board Member or Meeting has the authority, at their discretion, to enforce these Rules and may require an individual to leave the Club at any time should they deem it necessary.
The Manager or any Board Member may immediately suspend an individual from using Club facilities. Any suspension longer than two weeks must be approved by the Triangle Club Board of Directors.
Each meeting operates autonomously. Violations of individual meetings’ safety may be considered a violation of the Club’s Rules of Conduct by extension.
Formal warnings may be issued by the Manager or a Board Member for first-time and/or minor violations of the Rules of Conduct.
Repeated violations after a formal warning can result in an escalation to a suspension or ban from the Club.
Any individual who has been banned from the Club and wishes to have their access privileges reinstated must:
○ Write a letter to the Board explaining why they should be reinstated.
○ Meet with the Board, at the Board’s discretion, and receive the Board’s approval for reinstatement.
