1. Summary of Conditions of Lease
i. One of the conditions of the Lease is that a summary should be on display for members to read and observe. These are for guidance only. For precise definition, reference should be made to the Lease document. The Lease requires us to keep the site tidy and has clauses covering pollution of the lake, doing nothing "deleterious to the quality of the water". Hamdden Limited may require us to disinfect the boats if they have cause to believe diseases may be transmitted to the fish stock from elsewhere.
Specific clauses are as follows:
ii. We must not permit the capture, or attempt to capture any fish, either from the shore or any Club boat.
