Club Rules

Our Club rules are there to ensure the safety and comfort of our club members and to ensure that
Wombwell Karting is a safe and welcoming environment for all. It’s everyone’s responsibility to
ensure the rules are respected so if you see something that concerns you please report it to a
member of our team – SEE IT, SAY IT, SORT IT.

We aim to work in an atmosphere of mutual respect with competitors, their guests, teams and
mechanics. Anyone who purposely ignores the rules may be excluded from the meeting and be
asked to leave the circuit. In extreme cases we reserve the right to withdraw membership or
withhold admission to the circuit on race days.

  safety of everyone, so please respect this rule and help us to enforce it.
