Don't think you can.

Only if there's a local rule

As Chris said, there has to be the approved Local Rule in place - should be on the scorecard.

Only if there is a local rule to permit this.

[h=3]5. Stones In Bunkers[/h]Stones are, by definition, loose impediments and, when a player’s ball is in a hazard, a stone lying in or touching thehazard may not be touched or moved (Rule 13-4). However, stones in bunkers may represent a danger to players (a player could be injured by a stone struck by the player’s club in an attempt to play the ball) and they may interfere with the proper playing of the game.
When permission to lift a stone in a bunker is warranted, the following Local Rule is recommended:
“Stones in bunkers are movable obstructions (Rule 24-1 applies).”

I know of no club in UK that doesn't have this Rule (at least whenever I've checked).

However, always check. Faldo was DQ-ed (signing for an incorrect score) when he applied the Euro Tour standard when playing in an Asian tournament that didn't allow them to be moved!

I've seen some of our members removing stones from bunkers,but there is nowhere on the card or in clubhouse to say this is a local rule.

I would suggest that there are many more than you indicate with this post - however it is a very common LR!
