Facilities Ashore

Car Park Permits are issued to members, which show their car registration number and membership number. Permits must be displayed whilst using the car park.

Members wishing to park their car for an extended period are requested to use the north end of the car park. A secure key cupboard will also be available for the safe keeping of member’s keys that are left at the club when a vehicle is parked in a location where it may need to be moved, for example if double-parking was necessary during a busy period. This cupboard will be accessible to the bar staff.

Parking for guests and visitors is severely limited and is possible by previous arrangement and is chargeable.

Temporary permits are available from the office and should be displayed when using the car park.

Members may not invite their guests to use the parking facilities.

The club stands in a large secluded site overlooking the river between the Port Hamble marina and Rope Walk, less than 5 minutes walk from the centre of Hamble. Based around an attractive Victorian house, the clubhouse was extensively developed in 2005. The club now has two bars and a large flexible function room providing for club and private meetings or events.
A terrace in front of the bar & restaurant overlooks a large lawn toward Port Hamble and the Hamble River. The internal space can be easily reconfigured to host a variety of functions on the same day. Business breakfasts, working lunches and day training sessions can all be accommodated separate to the private bar area for members.

The Club has a lounge available to members with comfortable sofas and chairs and a TV and DVD. There is a small library with various books and magazines available to members for their enjoyment when in the Club.

We welcome Children

Children are welcome in the Clubhouse and the grounds, and it’s the responsibility of parents and guardians to oversee them and ensure their safety and appropriate behaviour, so as not to disturb other members using the club. Children are also welcome in the bar and dining area but children under the age of 14 are not allowed in the bar area after 2100 hours.

Garden Games!

We have giant garden games for use by members and their families on the premises including Giant Jenga and 4-in-a-Row as well as boules and coots. Ask for them at the bar and sign the book provided to use them. Parents must supervise children while using the games at all times. Please return games to the storage box, complete and in their boxes, and keys returned signed back into the book. Loss or damages may incur a charge.

Dogs

Whilst members dogs are most welcome in the Club grounds and bar area, they are not allowed in the dining rooms and are to be kept under control by the owners and kept on a lead at all times. Dogs must not be allowed to foul anywhere on the premises.

Use of Mobile Phones / Wi-Fi

Please note that the use of mobile phones and electronic devices that emit noise are not permitted in the bar or dining areas. If you must accept an incoming call please do so outside of these areas. The club does provide free-to-access wireless to members and guests. Please ask the office or bar-team for access.

The Club has a laundry room with a large volume washer and a tumble dryer which are coin-operated, and are available for use by members at certain times, once our house-keepers have finished cleaning the bedroom and dining room linen. These machines will take a large item, such as a duvet, but they are intended for the purpose of washing clothes – not for sails please!

Members may use the showers at any time – please try to conserve water when possible, and please leave them in a clean and tidy state, and if anything needs attention, please alert the office.

The Club offers free-to-access Wi-Fi networks to members and guests. Ask at the bar or office for the access codes.

To protect both the club’s Internet bandwidth and liability in the case of unlawful access it is Club policy to restrict certain categories of internet site. Consequently, you might find some sites are not accessible. If you believe a site you wish to access is being unreasonably blocked please email webmaster(I am sure you can figure out what goes here)rafyc.co.uk to review this policy.
