We have been having people who are using our Marina leave the gate open, and some who have left the gate/door at the entrance to the dock open as well.  

People have also noticed non-Bridgehaven members using the Marina facilities.  The whole marina area is off limits to any who are not members in good standing in the club.  

Some have tried to justify their presence down  there by saying they are a friend or relative of "so and so", who is a member in good standing.  The rule is that if you have guests who want to use the marina, then YOU  the BCCA member, must be physically present there too. 

Bridgehaven renters do not have marina priviledges.

Bridgehaven also has a Facebook page!  Join the "club" to keep up on what's going on!

Since we are a small community and want to keep our "conversations" for our ears only, we set it up as what is called a "closed group".  That means that the only people that will be able to read or write posts are those who are BCCA Members.  When you post to the Bridgehaven FB page, members only will get notifications of the posts, and may reply.  If you would like to try it out, request membership there on the site.  Requests will be screened to make sure they are membrs of our community.
