Annex 2 - Conditions consistent with the Operating Schedule
General - All Four Licensing Objectives
The premises are run very strictly in adherence to the club rules, with a view to maintaining an orderly, well managed and distinguished club. The club house is away from residential areas and has always been careful to ensure that no disruption is caused in the locality to neighbours, members attending the club and their guest. The variations sought are intended to enhance the membership of the club and will be used entirely within the discretion of the committee, at all times treating safety and disorder as their priority.
The Prevention Of Crime & Disorder
The club has never had any incidents of crime or disorder arising from the way it is run or behaviour of any of its members and guest on the premises, on leaving or arriving at the premises. Members can only enter the club by use of a pass system and door entry system to private areas. The rules of the club demand a very high standard of behaviour from all those using their facilities and anyone found breaching the rules in anyway is immediately advised to leave. Should the member commit a serious breach, his or her membership will be reviewed.
Public Safety
The safety of members and their guest is paramount in the running of the club, which has the necessary public liability insurance to cover any accidents.
Members of the public are not admitted to the club premises except as guest of a member or attending a private function.
The Prevention Of Public Nuisance
Car parking facilities for all members and guest are within the club grounds. Owing to the distance of the club house and car park from the nearest house, no disturbance is caused by any car doors or general noise as members and guest go to their cars. Any events involving live music will have concluded by 02:00am at the latest and again, Noise from the premises will not travel the distance to the residential areas.
For premises where entertainment frequently takes place, music and associated sources (including DJs, and amplified voices) should generally not be audible inside noise sensitive property at any time. Where entertainment takes place less frequently, such noise should not be audible inside noise sensitive property between 23.00 and 07.00 hours.
All external doors and windows shall be kept closed when entertainment is being provided, other than for access and egress and in the event of an emergency. If additional ventilation is subsequently necessary, then it shall be attenuated in accordance with a scheme submitted to the licensing authority.
The Prevention Of Children From Harm
Junior Members (Aged 9 - 18) are only allowed in specific areas of the club house, known as the television area, similarly for student members. All members of whatever age are required to use a membership card when purchasing drinks from the bar. The card is swiped by the bar staff and shows the level of membership (And age where appropriate) of the member. All bar staff are trained to ask for proof of age for any member or guest wishing to purchase alcohol where there is any doubt about their age.
