Carpooling:
Please carpool to events whenever possible.
Do not expect a free ride to to the event. If someone is driving you to an event - offer to CONTRIBUTE to the cost of gas each time. The high cost of gas and maintaining a vehicle make this a sensible option for vehicle owners and allows those without a car to get to the events. IT SHOULD BE A BENEFIT TO BOTH PARTIES - the driver gets a little assistance to offset the cost of driving to events and the passenger gets a ride. It is suggested that passengers offer the driver $5 per hour of driving (includes mileage and vehicle wear & tear). This is only a guideline and the driver may charge more or less depending on the situation. Please state in your RSVP whether you can offer a ride or need a ride, and where you will be coming from. Passengers, please ensure you show up on time and bring cash, an extra bag for wet/muddy footwear and clothing.

No guests. If your friend is interested in coming, have them join BCOA.
No dogs - sorry.
