Schedule “A”

 

“DEPUTY MEMBER”

 

Deputy Membership is designed to help a Club member who is unable to attend the Club during a visit by a guest or guests. A special case of “Deputy Member” referred to hereafter as “Staff Nominee” is provided for a camp owner who employs a guardian. A “Deputy Member” is not a member of the club nor is it intended as a substitute for membership in the club.

 

The authorization can be issued to an adult friend, business associate or relative and it will expire seven days from the date it is issued. Unless authorized in advance by the Board, a Deputy Membership will only be renewed once during a season. The exception to this rule is the authorization of a “Staff Nominee” that permits a camp owner to request appointment of a guardian for the entire season

 

The “Deputy Member” will act as host for the member’s guest(s), and must be present for the entire visit(s).

 

The Club member and his designated “Deputy Member” will both be held responsible for upholding Caughnawana rules, Quebec fish and game laws, and Zec regulations.

 

The “Deputy Member” authorization will normally be requested by the member in advance by contacting the President, Membership Director or Clubhouse Director, who will in turn inform the Guardians of Caughnawana.

 

The Guardians of Caughnawana are designated with the authority to issue a ” Deputy Member” authorization to a visitor in the case where the member is unable to obtain authorization in advance. The Guardians will be responsible to report to the Directors any abuse or contravention of Club by-laws, Government and Zec regulations.

 

 The Board may restrict or deny Deputy Member authorization.

 

A $250.00 fee for each “Deputy Member” appointment, payable by the member will be charged to the members account as well as any and all other charges incurred by the Deputy Member and visitor(s). A fee of $1000.00 per season will be charged to the members account for appointment of a “Staff Nominee” as well as all other charges incurred by the “Staff Nominee” and visitor(s).

 

The above noted regulations apply to all members at all times with the exception of family members using private camps after July 1st.
