♦ All guests will sign the guest register. Guests are limited to 14 visits per year unless they are participating in OYC-sponsored race events.

♦ The dress Code Standards are in place to ensure the enjoyment of all members and visitors. They are important to us and have been established to enhance the overall experience at The Club.
