This document is approved by the Board for use in requesting to host an event at Riverside.

please note
Events that require an Event Contract are:
Any event that occurs during high-volume workout times or midday on the weekends
Any event with 15+ people, or with 10 or more non-RBC guests
Events for children
Events that will require that RBC equipment be moved from the workout room
Events that require decorations to be set up/hung
Any large-scale party where many people will be consuming alcohol
When in doubt, submit an Event Contract! If it’s not required, I’ll let you know!
Why an Event Contract?
So that any space use conflicts can be discussed
So that RBC can be sure that the boathouse is being used in accordance with club policies and expectations
So that members can be notified if the boathouse will be used during peak times
So that members know to expect that the space will be used
To identify the responsible person in the case of an issue or concern before, during, or after your event
Event approval guidelines:
Space use is approved on a first-come, first-served basis, with a mind to serving the most RBC members possible, in the best way we can
If an event is proposed during peak boathouse use times (before ~8pm on weekdays, or before ~5pm on weekends), it will likely be denied
If an event is more than half non-RBC members, meeting or exceeding 10 outside guests, additional board approval is required
