Remote Scottish links plot bold flight plan in 150th year to boost golf tourism<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n And she said the use of a code to enter the building and CCTV to check stocks was not enough telling board members she had been told about incidents when the code for the halfway house access pad had been shared in the past with non members.\n<\/p>\n
\n The club said the halfway house was manned in the summer months during the day but during the winter and in the evenings members were given a code to access it.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Hazzard said it had toilet facilities, a kitchen area, and a fridge stocked with cans of alcohol which members could access.\n<\/p>\n
\n He argued it was no different to someone having access to a mini bar in a hotel room which was not staffed.\n<\/p>\n
\n Board members were asked to approve the variation to the licence but with an additional condition that alcohol would only be sold in the halfway house by a personal licence holder or trained member of staff in the building.\n<\/p>\n
\n Councillor Lee-Anne Menzies, board member, told Mr Hazzard the difference between a hotel room mini bar and the halfway house was that she would not expect other people to have access to her room.\n<\/p>\n
\n And she said while she appreciated the extra efforts the club made to ensure members followed the rules she believed it should be manned.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cHumans behave as humans irrespective \u2018humans are humans whether they are in a\u00a0 private club or a local club.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The board agreed by four members to one to approve the changes to the licence with the condition insisting on staff being available for sales in the halfway house.\n<\/p>\n
\n Councillor John McMillan voted to approve the licence without enforcing the halfway house condition.\n<\/p>\n
\n Changes to the licence including the early serving of alcohol from 9am were also approved with the condition it is served with a substantial plated meal and only by the glass not bottle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"However a meeting of the local authority\u2019s licensing board heard that the halfway house was not always staffed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":498092,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-498091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=498091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/498092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=498091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=498091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=498091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
