Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012

Sale and supply of alcohol generally - Offences and closure of premises - Unlicensed persons and unlicensed premises

235A: Exemption to section 235 for certain race meetings

You could also call this:

"Small racing clubs don't always have to follow the same alcohol rules at their race meetings."

If you are a small racing club, you do not have to follow section 235 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 in certain situations. This is when you are holding a race meeting on your unlicensed premises and you have either an on-licence or an on-site special licence for the area where the meeting is being held. You can find the meanings of terms like "race meeting" and "small racing club" in section 5(1) of the Racing Industry Act 2020.
