These Rules and Regulations are adopted by the Owner (as such term is defined in the Capital Club Bylaws) in accordance with the Club’s Bylaws. It is the intention of the Club to limit these Rules and Regulations to the minimum required for the mutual enjoyment of the Club by its Members and their Guests.

Their principal responsibility is to assure you of all the courtesies, comforts, and service to which you, as a Member of a fine club, are entitled. It is furthermore the duty of the Membership of the club to know these Rules and Regulations and to cooperate with the Club staff in their enforcement.

Members are asked to report any violation of the Rules and Regulations. Members violating these Rules and Regulations are subject to such action as deemed necessary in accordance with the Club Bylaws. Continued violation of the Rules and Regulations may lead to suspension and ultimate expulsion as provided in the Club Bylaws.
