Keele Boggs Pools

2019 Rules updated:

• Slander/abuse towards the club, other members, bailiffs, committee or pools will not be tolerated; constructive criticism is acceptable given the discussion doesn’t become nasty and light hearted banter is encouraged.

• Swearing will not be tolerated, we’re a community club with a lot of younger members they hear enough swearing on the streets and they do not need to see it on here, I’m sure everyone can string a sentence together without swearing.

• Racism will not be tolerated regardless of the context and will get you removed from the page

• Please keep all content relevant to the club, e.g. Photographs of fish caught from our pools, photographs of the pools and wildlife within, any content not relating to the club will be removed.

• Selling of items on the page is not allowed as this has been abused in the past.

**Remember, people have different opinions, just because they don’t agree with what you say doesn’t make them wrong, everyone is entitled to there own opinion on any given subject and we encourage healthy discussion.
