There will be no servicing of alcohol before 11am Monday- Friday or before 9am Saturday/ 12.30pm Sunday. SEASONAL OPENING Note that the Premises Licence which the Board can grant relates to the 'Core Hours' ONLY (the usual hours of operation described in the Operating Plan, Sunday to Saturday). The Premises Licence does NOT authorise operation outside those times, for example operation during the festive period or events, or catering for functions (even if these have been mentioned in the Operating Plan). Additional hours can be obtained in various ways: (a) the Board can, on the Application of particular Premises, grant Extended Hours (valid for up to one month) in connection with a special event or occasion to be catered for on the Premises, or a special event of local or national significance, e.g. the festive period. Because the Act requires that the Board notifies the Police and the Licensing Standards Officer, it is advisable to make the Application well in advance of the special event or occasion: by Law the whole process from Application to grant can take at least 18 days. If an Application is lodged at short notice, the Board cannot guarantee to grant the Extended Hours in time for the event. See Section 68; (b) a Determination by the Board applying throughout North Ayrshire, that all Premises (or Premises of a particular kind) may have Extended Hours. See Section 67; (c) Variation of the Operating Plan. See Section 29.

Although children may not be present at all times, during function and events we will allow children from 0-17 to be accompanied by an adult. They will during the time we serve alcohol. There may also be times when the hall is booked for a function such as children’s party or children’s dance class. If the ratio of adults to children are minimum, alcohol will not be served, only refreshments and juice. We will also have a regular Juniors section within the club. The will be young people aged 5 and above who will be learning to play. At this time, children will be in the building accompanied by adults/ members at all times.

At Function children will be able to attend for the duration of the function. Most private events will finish at 12pm. Our Junior Section will be in attendance when their coaching session and competitions are played. The times may vary but depending on events, regular coaching and participation in Wappenshaws. Core hours for Juniors will be between 9am-9pm.

Children will access all areas of the club apart from the area around the bar including bar back area/ cellar and the kitchen. The Function Suite, outdoor bowls area, locker rooms and committee rooms are the key areas the children will be present. Most of the time, the children will be focused on function suite and outdoor areas. They will be required to walk through committee room to access toilet and many function/ club members use the committee room for buffet/ food.
