NSW & ACT Code of Ethics
The
Association Code of Ethics has been around for a long time. It
is up to every member of every club to ensure they and fellow
members, understand and adhere to this code.
For
example in accordance with Rule 10, 'respect the rights of others',
don't run night trips near populated area's where the noise carries
for kilometres. In regards to Rule 5, 'carry your own and other
rubbish out', means pick up not just your own rubbish, but clean
up the area.
