SECONDARY CARERS

The Club is for Members and their immediate resident family. Domestic helpers, amahs, nannies, au pairs, chauffeurs, other personal servants and temporary guardians (“Secondary Carers”) are not considered part of such immediate family. While many members’ clubs in Manila do not permit access to Secondary Carers at all, they are permitted to come into The Club @ Essensa under certain limited circumstances.

Parents are strongly urged to be with, and responsible for, their children as much as possible when their children are using The Club, especially during weekends and public holidays when Members and/or their spouses are usually not working. Members and spouses must not bring their Secondary Carers with them to The Club purely for the purpose of looking after their children, whether or not they themselves are involved in other activities. There are aspects of care and control, safety and liability, alone, which mean that The Club must also not be used as a general facility for Secondary Carers, in place of Members and their spouses, to bring children to. The exception to this is at the Children’s indoor and outdoor play facilities.

However, it is recognized that there are times when neither parent is able to bring their children to attend certain coaching and other activities/classes organized by The Club. With few exceptions, then, and only then, will Secondary Carers be permitted to bring, and be responsible for, children of Members in their stead.

Therefore, apart from the above concession, Secondary Carers are not permitted to carry on their vocation, as such, on The Club premises.

Members or their spouses may bring Secondary Carers to our Club as Guests (but, as with all Guests, such Member or spouse must always accompany them while on Club premises and be responsible for their conduct at all times) and, as such, they must not be treated as personal servants.

Note: Restrictions applicable to chauffeurs may also be found in the Car Parking
House Rules and Regulations.

1. A Secondary Carer is only permitted access to The Club either

(a) as the Guest of a Member, Nominee, Associate Member or spouse thereof; or;

(b) as the bearer of a Guardian’s Card, subject to the conditions upon which such card is issued.

2. Members, Nominees and Associates Members may apply to the Management for a Guardian’s Card to permit a Secondary Carer to accompany children of that Member, Nominee of Associate Member, in the absence of both parents, to participate in coaching programs and other activities or classes organized by The Club and so designated.

3. Upon payment of such fee as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, a Guardian’s Card may be issued upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) such Card may only be used by the named card holder and in respect of the child or children and the programs, activities and classes for which it is issued or endorsed;

(b) the named card holder must present such card and sign-in and complete the required details on the Register for that purpose at Reception when accessing The Club;

3. PORTABLE TELEPHONES

In common with most up-market members’ clubs in Asia, which ban or restrict the use of portable telephones, these devices are not welcome in The Club and signage is prominent throughout to that effect. They are a major anti-social distraction to others in a club environment.

The Club provides a substantial number of conveniently located telephones and a switchboard paging service from the Concierge Desks, therefore the need to use portable telephones on The Club premises is not perceived as considerable. Many portable telephones can store incoming messages while switched off, for later response and, in genuine situations (e.g. certain emergency vocational responsibilities) with the consent of Management and on a without prejudice basis, portable telephones can be left at Reception for Staff to answer and then page the owner.

It is felt that the only way to effectively eradicate the problem of portable telephone use in The Club, and alleviate the considerable administrative burden placed on Management and the Committee in respect of transgressions, is by allowing minimal leeway, eliminating “grey” areas as much as possible and encouraging habitual compliance with summary fines.

Therefore, in most areas within the premises, particularly those where sociability, sports and activities requiring non-disturbance and where peace and quiet are the paramount considerations, use of portable telephones will be absolutely prohibited, and automatic fines will be levied for a ringing telephone, for making or answering a call, etc. in these prohibited areas. Ignorance or mere negligence will not be a viable excuse and serious transgressions may incur additional penalties. Members should note that, as always, they are responsible for ensuring their Guests switch off their portable phones before entry to our Club and that they are liable for any fines or other penalties in respect of their Guests’ transgressions.

There are only two areas where use of portable telephones will be tolerated: the Car Park, and the Garden Areas (outgoing calls only).

The habit of switching off portable telephones upon entry to The Club is strongly advised and encouraged.

3.1 The use of portable telephones for receiving or making calls is prohibited in all but the following areas of The Club:-

(a) The Car Park; and

(b) The Garden Areas – outgoing calls only.

3.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the use of portable telephones for receiving or making calls is prohibited in the following areas of The Club:

  • Reception Areas, Galleries Corridors;
  • The Elevators;
  • All Toilets, Changing Rooms and Store Rooms;
  • The Function Rooms and Offices
  • The Lounge;
  • Patio and Pool Bar Area;
  • The Swimming Pool Complex;
  • The Studio;
  • The Gym;
  • The Children’s Playroom;

3.3 For further avoidance of doubt, it shall be a breach of House Rules and Regulations 1 if the portable telephone of a Member, Nominee, Associate Member or Visitor or the family, Secondary Carer or Guest thereof shall ring or otherwise emit an audible signal in any prohibited area.

3.4 Notwithstanding House Rules and Regulations 3, if a portable telephone shall ring or otherwise emit an audible signal, such audible signal must be immediately switched off and remain switched off while in such area, and such telephone shall not be answered, or taken to a permitted area while ringing or being answered.

3.5 Standard fines determined from time to time by the Committee shall be imposed on any Member, Nominee, Associate Member or Visitor who:

(a) permits the emission of any audible signal from any portable telephone in a prohibited area;

(b) otherwise uses a portable telephone to receive or make a call in
a prohibited area, whether or not it has emitted any audible signal;

© Breaches House Rules and Regulations 4.

A report by or admission to Management, a Staff Member or an Officer of The Club shall be accepted prima facie. Any Member, Nominee, Associate Member or Visitor may appeal against the imposition of any automatic fine by letter addressed to the Honorary Secretary and, where appropriate, the matter will be referred to the Disciplinary Committee.

3.6 Notwithstanding the above House Rules and Regulations, the Committee may at its discretion from time to time authorize the use of portable telephones anywhere within The Club premises.

3.7 Nothing in these Portable Telephone House Rules and Regulations shall limit any disciplinary action in respect of a breach thereof which may be taken pursuant to the Articles of Association of The Club.

4. CHILDREN

Upon reaching 11 years of age children of Members can use many facilities of The Club, unaccompanied, and sign using their own dependent card. Privilege, however, carries responsibility. The emphasis of these House Rules and Regulations is upon suitable behavior and supervision and it is not the intention to otherwise be too restrictive. Therefore Management has been given a wide discretion in the interpretation of situations and enforcement of certain of these House Rules and Regulations.

As an up-market residential amenity, it is necessary to strike an equitable balance between the interests of families, and their members, and other adult Members in relation to some facilities. Therefore, there are some time- restrictions applicable to various age groups.

Of course, children are always expected to conform to behavioral standards, and parents are always responsible for the conduct and safety of their children and those of their Guests. The Club is not responsible for accidents and injuries involving children, and there are further regulations specifically applicable to the Swimming Pool Complex, the Play Areas and other facilities which are designed to reduce or eliminate accidents.

4.1 (a) A Child who has not reached the 11th anniversary of his or her date of birth must be accompanied at all times while on The Club Premises by a Member, Nominee, Associate Member (other than a Junior Associate who has not reached the 21st anniversary of his or her date of birth), Visitor, the spouse thereof, an authorized coach or person authorized pursuant to and in accordance with the Secondary Carer House Rules and Regulations;

(b) Upon reaching the 11th anniversary of their date of birth, children of Members, Nominees and Associate Members will be issued with Club dependant cards which will allow them to use The Club unaccompanied until they reach the 21st anniversary of their date of birth, unless otherwise restricted by these House Rules and Regulations.

4.2 Members, Nominees, Associate Members, Visitors and spouses thereof are responsible for the safety and conduct of their children and the children of their Guests while they are on The Club Premises and must monitor such children’s behavior and ensure that they are not acting in an unruly manner or otherwise in breach of any House Rules and Regulations.

4.3. Subject to House Rules and Regulations 4, Children must vacate Club facilities in accordance with the following schedule:

(b) A Member, Nominee, Associate Member, Visitor, the spouse thereof, authorized coach or Secondary Carer shall escort any Child from The Club Premises (or the Child himself or herself, if unaccompanied by such adult, shall vacate The Club Premises) upon being so requested by the Management or any Officer of The Club if, in the opinion of such person, the conduct of such Child is inappropriate.

HOUSE RULES AND REGULATIONS: CONDUCT

All private members’ clubs expect a certain standard of behavior from their members and guests. It is each Member’s responsibility to ensure that reasonable standards are observed, whether reflected by sobriety, attitude, language or other aspects of decorum, as appropriate for a particular venue or occasion. Raucous behavior, which may be acceptable in the Bar, may be obnoxious in the Restaurant. On the other hand, similar behavior may not cause offense where for example, the Restaurant or a Function Room has been taken over for a particular event.

The watchwords are reasonableness, consideration and respect for others, at all times. Acknowledging the diversity within our Club in terms of sex, age, ethnic and cultural differences, a suitable level of decorum and etiquette should always be governed by consideration for other Members, their Guests and Staff.

Members and their Guests are not permitted, for whatever reasons, to reprimand Staff. Members are also reminded that they should behave in a proper manner towards other Members and bear in mind their duty to uphold the best interests of our Club whether on or outside Club Premises.

It is expected that at all times Members and their Guests shall behave in accordance with the normal moral and legal dictates of society.

The all-embracing principles relating to conduct are contained have been substantially repeated as House Rules and Regulations 1, below, together with some specific restraints.

1. Members, Nominees, Associate Members, Visitors, Family members and Guests shall not behave in a manner which is injurious or detrimental to the character, reputation or interests of The Club or of its Members, or in a manner which is unbecoming of a Member.

Without limiting the scope of House Rules and Regulations 1, it shall be a breach thereof if any Member, Nominee, Associate Member, Visitor, Family member or Guest shall:-

(a) reprimand any member of Staff for alleged misconduct, or otherwise, or attempt to countermand any instruction given to staff by Management;

(b) subject any member of Staff (or any Officer in the execution of his duties) to abuse; or subject any other Member, Nominee, Associate Member, Visitor, Family member or Guest to abuse.

2. A Member, Nominee, Associate Member, Visitor, Family member or Guest may point out to any person that such person may be in breach of any House Rules and Regulations, but should go no further in the event of actual or potential confrontation, the proper channel then being to report the matter to Management (or if unavailable, an Officer).

4. The Management (or, if unavailable, an Officer not directly involved) may cause to be removed from any part of The Club Premises any person who, in their opinion, is in breach of these Conduct House Rules and Regulations.

HOUSE RULES AND REGULATIONS: DRESS CODE

It is recognized that the implementation of an effective Dress Code is very difficult. People, of course, tend to have different ideas as to what may be appropriate or acceptable. While a good standard of dress is basically insisted upon for entry to our Club, it is acknowledged that it is impractical to strictly regulate many areas because our Club does have a diversity of facilities and a layout which tends to throw together people dressed for different activities. Bearing this in mind, the restrictions set out in these House Rules and Regulations have been kept to a minimum.

However, The Bar, The Restaurant and The Gallery Lounges are areas where a superior standard of dress (and decorum) are expected, and these are the focus of the more stringent rules.

This is not to say “anything goes” elsewhere. Notwithstanding that ours is a residential spa and fitness club, Members who have been exercising and are perspiring, wearing minimal clothing, etc should show deference to other Club users. Sitting or remaining at length in the bars or congregating in foyers in such condition does not show the consideration expected for the comfort and convenience of others. Remember that clothing which becomes sweaty during exercise or sports activities will be deemed to be “soiled”.

Please be considerate, and adopt (and ensure your Guests adopt) appropriate etiquette for the area you are in. Styles may change, but good manners are always in fashion. Ladies are not specifically mentioned, and while their range of acceptable dress styles is far broader, they are expected to comply with comparable standards set out for men.

To assist Members to comply with the dress code, and so not to restrict their enjoyment of facilities, appropriate shirts for temporary use are usually available at the Restaurant. Please also note that the Indoor Swimming Pool Complex House Rules and Regulations and some Rules in Appendix III relating to various facilities may contain specific dress codes.

1. General

1.1 Persons must observe an appropriate standard of dress when entering the main Lobbies; subject only to the exception set out in House Rules and Regulations 1.2.

1.2 Persons may enter the main Clubhouse (or the Sportsman’s Bar) in soiled sports clothing immediately after exercise outside The Club Premises or on the Pitches, but must remove studded or soiled footwear.

1.3 At all other times, persons must wear footwear when entering The Club and, with the exception of activities where no footwear is appropriate, persons must always wear footwear while on Club Premises.

2. The Gallery Lounges

2.1 After 9:30 p.m., the dress code shall be the same as for the Bar, but without the restriction set out in House Rules and Regulations 2.5.

2.2 Soiled clothing, and sleeveless shirts or singlet’s for men are not permitted at any time.

2.3 This dress code shall also apply to Children who have reached the 11th anniversary of their date of birth. Younger Children must always be appropriately attired.

3. The Restaurant

3.1 On weekdays, and after 4:00 p.m. on weekends and public holidays, the dress code shall be the same as for the Bar (with the exception, of House Rules and Regulations 2.3).

3.2 Shorts for men are not permitted on weekdays or after 4:00 p.m. on weekends and public holidays (unless permitted for specific functions by the Management).

3.3 Soiled clothing, and sleeveless shirts or singlet’s for men are not permitted at any time.

3.4 This dress code shall also apply to Children who have reached the 11th anniversary of their date of birth. Younger Children may be differently, though appropriately, attired.

4.2 (a) Subject to paragraph (b), appropriate swimwear is the minimum required dress in the Swimming Pool areas when available for use by both sexes;

(b) Towels, only, may be worn; however, the manner in which they
Are worn must take account of the sensibilities of others.

5. National Costume, etc

5.1 Notwithstanding any restrictions set out in these House Rules and Regulations, recognized national, ethnic or religious costume shall be acceptable at all times unless specifically mentioned.

6. Powers and Discretion

6.1 The Management or Senior Staff member on duty has the authority to:-

(a) exercise discretion in the strict implementation of these House Rules and Regulations on a case by case basis;

(b) exclude any person, who in their opinion is not appropriately attired, from any area of The Club Premises; and

© vary the dress code requirements for any facility at any time on a case by case basis.

HOUSE RULES AND REGULATIONS: SMOKING

The Club has a strong health and fitness element and the concepts of smoking and participation in spa and exercise don’t easily mix. However, our Club also provides an opportunity for other social activities and smoking is still a part of that environment.

The restrictions on smoking are therefore confined, for the most part, to areas other than the Food and Beverage outlets/outdoor areas (unless artificial surfaces are liable to be damaged).

Smokers are also reminded that in all smoking areas – especially the Gallery Lounges – “courtesy of choice” applies. Be aware of those around you: you may choose not to smoke, or to exercise extra consideration, in the presence of children or others that may be affected. Using ashtrays provided to avoid littering and damage to floors and surfaces is also expected. The ashtrays in non-smoking areas, such as lobbies, are to enable smokers to extinguish smoking materials, not to encourage smoking.

Whether you are a smoker or a non-smoker, it must be remembered that our Club serves a diverse membership whose interests are to enjoy a setting which can meet their individual requirements and this involves extending courtesies to all fellow Members.

1. Smoking is not permitted in the following areas:

(a) Reception, all Foyers, Lifts, Walkways, Corridors, Stairways, Toilets and Locker Rooms throughout The Club Premises;

(b) he Children’s Playroom, Gym, Locker Rooms and Sauna and Steam Rooms;

© he inside the water area of the Swimming Pool Complex.

2. Tables in the Restaurant and Bar (and Patio area) are usually apportioned by demand and smoking is not permitted in any area designated for non-smoking tables.

3. Smoking is not permitted in any other area indicated by signs.

APPENDIX II – GUEST HOUSE RULES AND REGULATIONS

One of the essential elements of a sports and social club such as ours is the ability for Members to invite their friends and acquaintances to share our recreational activities, facilities and food and beverage outlets. The Club welcomes and places few restrictions on the number of Guests that a Member can invite to the bars and restaurant and, at most times, to many of the other facilities. Only those facilities, which receive capacity usage by Members, are restricted appropriately in respect of Guests.

We do, however, expect Members to be prudent with regard to this privilege, and to always accompany their Guests and be responsible for their behavior. Guests should be advised as to our dress codes and restrictions on mobile phones, smoking, bringing food and drinks into The Club, etc. when appropriate. Whenever possible Guests should met at the Lobby, and should not be left behind, or waiting for a Member, in The Club facilities. Members will be liable for the transgressions of their Guests and therefore

should be aware of our House Rules and Regulations and respect the fact that the Management and Officers of The Club have a duty to enforce these rules.

In order to equate the enjoyment of facilities for single Members as much as possible with that of couples and families, single Members can always bring a Guest into almost any facility in our Club (the few exceptions appear in the first column of the Schedule below).

1. A Visitor is not permitted to invite Guests into The Club.

2. A child (as defined in the Articles of Association) is not permitted to invite Guests into The Club.

3. Members, Nominees, Associate Members and their spouses must accompany their Guests at all times while they are on The Club Premises and shall be responsible for the conduct of their Guests, which must be in accordance with the Articles of Association and House Rules and Regulations.

4. Any person currently posted, suspended, or expelled from The Club under the Articles of Association and any person determined as inappropriate by the General Committee, and so posted, shall not be invited into The Club Premises as a Guest.

5. A Member, Nominee, Associate Member or spouse thereof shall escort their Guest(s) from The Club Premises upon being so requested by the Management or any Officer of The Club if, in the opinion of such person, the conduct of such Guest(s) is inappropriate.

6. The Club Changing Rooms may be used by Guests in conjunction only with the use of The Club’s sporting facilities or Club events.

7. The Management may, at its discretion, permit a Guest to use any facility of The Club at any time.

8. Rates for the use of Club facilities to be determined by the Management will be charged to the Guest.
