Reminder to Parents of Competitors:

We hope everyone is excited about Junior Fortnight we certainly are!

To avoid any issues during the event we'd like to take this opportunity to remind all parents of some Club Rules and Licensing Laws:

ALCOHOL AND YOUNG PERSONS

2.18. The Licensing Laws are strict with regard to people under 18 years of age. It is against the law for those under 18 to buy alcohol. The penalties for both the seller and supplier are stringent. Breaches of the Licensing Laws are criminal offences. Selling alcohol to an individual under 18 years old attracts a fine of £5,000. An individual under 18 years old attempting to buy alcohol can be fined £1,000 and the vendor £5,000.

2.19. Other than under paragraph 2.20, drinking alcohol when under the age of 18 on Club premises is strictly illegal. For this reason, anyone under 18 found drinking or in possession of alcohol on Club premises (including lawns and jetties) may be summarily dismissed from social or sailing events. They may also be suspended from attending the Club for a period of time. The police may need to be informed. Similar sanctions may also apply to anyone providing alcohol to those under the age of 18 on Club premises.

2.20. Those aged 16 or 17 may consume beer, wine or cider (but not spirits) only with a meal, and only when the drink is bought by a responsible adult who is accompanying them seated at the meal and accepts responsibility. Sanctions may include summary dismissal from the Club premises, and from social or sailing events. The Commodore may institute an investigation, following which a member may be suspended or, in extremis, be asked or required to resign.

We hope that everyone has a fantastic JF and we look forward to seeing everyone next week!
