RESOLVED: The Sub-Committee decided to modify the conditions of the club premises licence so that the following conditions would apply:

For the avoidance of all doubt, the exclusion only applies to the supply of alcohol (Monday to Sunday: 10:00 – 00:00) and no other licensable activity. This means the Premises is prevented from supplying alcohol for six (6) weeks; and

b.    Modify the conditions of the Certificate.
