By Laws

SRO Club Bylaws


The following bylaws have been adopted by the Snake River Offroaders.
 

  1. Absolutely no alcohol may be consumed during a SRO Club scheduled run.  It is illegal to drink and drive or to have an open container in the vehicle.  Drinking is permitted on overnight runs back at camp when the driving is done for the day.  
  2. Absolutely no illegal drugs or controlled substances will be tolerated by a member or guest at any SRO Club sanctioned event.  Exceptions would be when under a physician's care and not operating equipment.  There will be zero tolerance with this rule.
  3. No drivers will be permitted under the age of 18 without a parent present.
  4. If for any reason your membership is revoked or allowed to expire, SRO Club decals must be returned.  They are SRO Club property.
  5. Parents are responsible for their children in making sure they are out of harms way at all times.
  6. Pets are welcome on SRO Club runs, but must be kept in owner's care and out of the way of other SRO Club members.  When in the back of an open bed truck, they must be properly secured to prevent injury.
