Lucy Waterreus: Clubs NZ CEO on the Government widening alcohol restrictions for local clubs

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

Less confusion over a drink at the local club, as options increase for serving alcohol.  Currently, local sport clubs, RSAs and community clubs can only serve alcohol to members and their guests. The Government's today announced clubs can now choose to stick with their current license or apply to serve the wider public - like a restaurant or bar. Clubs NZ CEO, Lucy Waterreus, says many people didn't know these restrictions exist.  "You might have someone that decides to pop into their local club, support a community event - only to discover they actually can't be served."
