Palmer Brook Sportsman Club Recreation Lease
SUMMER RECREATION LEASE
1. The summer recreation lease entitles each member and children under the age of ten who are listed on the member’s application trespass rights to club property and facilities as outlined in this lease and subject to The General Club Rules and Regulations. The Summer Recreational Membership fee is fifty dollars $50.00 per person per season. The membership fee is due in full upon submission of the member’s application and it is not prorated, so members are encouraged to join as early in the year as possible. Children under the age of ten are free as long as they are listed on their parents or guardians application. Children over the age of ten and under the age of eighteen must have their own membership but as minors they must be accompanied by an adult while on club property. We no longer offer a family or group membership; all individuals over the age of ten must have their own individual membership which costs $50.00 per person. We remind each individual to review the clubs General Rules and Regulations prior to joining and these rules should be obeyed at all times while on club property. Further we remind each member all ATVs, must be registered with the club, insured as per the clubs insurance requirements and all guests must fill out a guest waiver form and guest fee be submitted for EVERY individual entering the club property. Your membership is not official until your application has been reviewed and you have received a key, we will do our best to expedite approvals and mail keys and we recommend strongly using the website to submit your application and payments as this is the fastest most efficient way to submit said paperwork and fees. If you choose to fill out the application and hand it to one of the board members along with your payment the board member must mail it to our office for processing before you will receive your key this process can take a week or longer so again we strongly recommend using the website to submit your application.
2. Each member is entitled trespass rights for recreational access to the club property and facilities beginning on or about March 1st through the first day of big game early bow season as determined by the NYS DEC. The actual start of the summer recreation membership will be based on the close of the snowmobile season and will be announced by PBSC on our website when the locks are changed and access is granted to summer recreation members. During the summer months members access to the property is available through any of the club gates either at Fern Lake or from the Buck Hill Rd side of the property and is 24 by 7 at the member’s discretion. Each member will be provided a key which will unlock the summer access lock on each gate. Members should not make copies of this key and should not loan their key to anyone. The key will be changed each season to a new key so the old key will not work the following season, we ask members please hold onto their keys and turn them into a board member when they get a chance.
3. Members may use the property for recreational purposes in accordance with club rules and regulations as well as all applicable laws for hiking, camping, fishing, atving, etcetera but may not take game of any kind through any means.
4. Summer recreational members have full access to all club property and facilities. Summer members must not use, climb, access or tamper with Hunting blinds, tree stands and should avoid disturbing food plots. Hunter primary hunting sites are scattered throughout the property although the club does recognize these designated hunting locations as being assigned to a particular member all members have access to all areas of the club property so we ask all members be respectful of the hunters assigned primary hunting sites and improvements the hunters have made.
5. Members may store their ATVs, RVs, kayaks, canoes, etcetera in the area by the clubs shooting range. Before storing any equipment on club property please coordinate this with the Club Superintendent.
