Now Hear This!

(The small things that BYC members sometimes forget or simply ignore)


Some are By-Laws or Regulations others are just common courtesy or, practice:

C
Carts - Return dock carts when you are through so our famous Cart Boy or you don't have to chase them down. And when rain is imminent or forecast, tip them up off their wheels to keep them dry for the next user; clean them if you soil them. [

Carts - If you are coming up the brow, and you see too many carts sitting at the foot, bring one or two up to the clubhouse so others can use them.

D
Dogs - Dogs, if not on personal property, (read boat or boat shed) should be on a leash at BYC.

Dogs - Clean up after your dog regardless of where it leaves its mess.

Dogs - Dogs in the picnic areas are not welcome. This includes Oro Bay.

H

    1. Do not leave containers of any kind in the shed I.E. 1 gal. Anti-freeze bottles or used oil filters. You can drain them but do not leave them there. Manage your time when draining containers by setting them up to drain and coming back later that same day to discard the container.

  1. If you notice a tank nearing its full mark, Put a "FULL DO NOT USE" note on the tank and contact the Environmental Chair who will arrange for it to be pumped.

  2. If you spill anything in or near the sheds, clean it up.

  3. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT leave any containers laying around with substances in it.

I
Ice - Taking ice bags from the cooler and not replacing 2 for one constitutes a violation of a BYC regulation, and makes you a dirty lowdown ice bandit.

Ice - Is for boating and club use but not to be removed from BYC for home use.

P
Parking - The north parking lot is by tradition for short-term parking only. Long term parking over 24 hours should be in the south lot. The longer the absence, the further south and west you should park.

Parking - When traffic cones are in place, don’t move them.

R
Railway - Clean up your act before your boat goes back into the water (especially if the next boat comes up right after yours). "COLLECT ALL DEBRIS AND DISPOSE IN THE DUMPSTER." (#8 of Pressure Washing Checklist)

Railway - SWEEP the railcar and ramp/apron clean of debris after pressure washing, sanding, painting or other activities that would leave debris. DO NOT use pressure washer or fresh water hose to clean ramp/apron or railcar. (#7 on Pressure Washing Checklist). There are several brooms ready to be used.

Railway - Do not allow children under the age of fourteen on the rail car at any time. [Source: Towline 12/99]

Railway - Skippers who are not able to use their scheduled time should notify the railway chair. If time allows, captains on the posted standby list will be contacted. Trading times or allowing another captain to use your assigned time is not allowed by railway rules without prior approval of the railway chair. [Source: Towline 5/01]

Recycle Area - Please keep the recycle area clean and neat; this area is for the disposal of boat and BYC related materials only. Do not bring it from home. [Source]

S
Scrap metal - Do not haul scrap metal from home to BYC for disposal. (Cliff Lillybridge removes this scrap metal only as a courtesy to BYC).

T
Trash - Stow your refuse in the dumpster. BUT: Do not overlod it; if full, wait and dump later.

Trash - Do not haul trash from home and dump in the BYC dumpster. Remember, it is for club use, and not for "stuff from home".

Trash - Do not pile cardboard in the disposal area, BYC does not reycle cardboard. Flatten it and put in the dumpster (Or: take it home and use your home recycling service).

W
Waste Water Treatment - A two-page write-up by Mike Leedy was part of the July 2003 Towline. Here you found a number of important Dos and Don'ts for your environmentally friendly and DOE-required behavior on the Railway. The pages also referred to the 'Revised Wastewater System Operating Instructions' and the updated 'Pressure Washing Checklist' posted in the Winch House (on the bulletin board adjacent to the pressure washing switches).

Workshop - After using the shop, clean up after yourself.

Workshop - The shop is not for personal long-term storage.

Workshop - The shop is not for commercial use.

Workshop - Warning; do not leave personal tools in the shop; there is a good chance they will not be there when you return.

Workshop - If you use any of the tools in the shop please take the time to clean up after yourself when done and leave it safe for the next person. What that means is, unplug the tool, and lower the table saw blade. KEEP YOUR SHOP CLEAN AND SAFE. Should you find any tool damaged or unsafe, report it to a member of the Shop Committee or the Rear Commodore. [Source]
