(3)Where a justices’ licence is granted to a club for any club premises, then, notwithstanding that the club is registered in respect of other club premises, section 39(3) of this Act shall not apply to the supply of intoxicating liquor under the authority of the licence.

(4)Where a club is registered in respect of any club premises, and application is made for the grant (whether to the club or to another) of a justices’ licence for other club premises of the club, the licensing justices shall not grant the licence unless they are satisfied that the purposes of the licence would not be served by the club being registered in respect of the other premises also and that the grant of the licence is not likely to give occasion for abuse by reason of any difference in the permitted hours in the premises or otherwise.

(5)Where a justices’ licence granted for club premises is subject to conditions forbidding or restricting the sale to non-members of intoxicating liquor, the licensing justices may insert in the licence a provision relieving the holder, if and in so far as the justices think appropriate in view of those conditions, from compliance with any provision of this Act which requires notices to be displayed in or on licensed premises but does not apply to premises in respect of which a club is registered.

(6)Any such conditions as are mentioned in subsection (5) of this section may be attached under section 4(1) of this Act to a new justices’ on-licence for club premises, notwithstanding that the licence is for the sale of wine alone . . . F3
