DearTAC members,

With regard to the new dress code at our club.

I am sure you have all noticed the very restrictive new dress code which is being imposed on us by the " Member Led Dress Code Task Force " and I am quite sure many of you have found yourself in a position where you can no longer enter the ADULT area just because you may be

Wearing flip flops or non leather sandals!

Wearing faded jeans?

A"mock " turtle neck?

Shorts on a day that can be in excess of 30 degrees centigrade outside of the summer months?

The club to which we all belong and to which we all pay our monthly dues is restricting access to its members for what seems like very spurious reasons. Are we a family club or are we a business centre?

The dress code at the club has become increasingly strict over the past few months and whilst it may be argued that many of these dress rules were pre-existing, they were actually only enfoced in the old formal area of the club, ie in the American room. Now with the new design of the club, the Formal Area and the Adult area has become one and the same.

There is no place for adults who have a more casual or contemporary dress sense to go to enjoy a cup of coffee or a light lunch away from children unless they abide by the new dress code.

This has had the result of alienating many members and causing a stressful situation where members are feeling unwelcome in their own club.

The object of this petition is to show the management at TAC that many of the members disagree vehemently with the dress code restrictions and would like to see it relaxed.

If you would like to register your disagreement with the dress code restrictions and suggest a more relaxed approach for members then please sign our petition.
