Policy Statement
Bomaderry Bowling Club is committed to the principles of Responsible Service of Alcohol, in keeping with State Laws and our Duty of Care to Members and Guests.
If a person is intoxicated, we cannot sell them alcohol, and we cannot sell alcohol to somebody else to give to them. Furthermore, it is against the law to be on club premises while intoxicated.
Definition of Intoxication: A person is able to enjoy a few drinks without being intoxicated. Intoxication is not measured by the 0.05 limit used for breath testing.
It is measured by behavior. Some indications are that an intoxicated person is having trouble speaking, standing up, or handling change. A further indicator would be loud and quarrelsome behavior.
When a situation arises that is likely to result in the refusal of service to an individual or group, the Duty Supervisor will actively manage the pending and actual refusal of service.
The club reserves the right to deny service to a group where members of the group show signs of intoxication and the group are displaying loud or unruly behavior.

A Few Guidelines to Ensure Responsible Service of Alcohol

We use the following rules to ensure that the principles of Responsible Service of Alcohol are maintained:

1.  No Shots OR Straight Spirits to be served at any time
2. Service of alcohol is limited to one per person after “last drinks” is called
3. No Double Nips to be served, unless is a cocktail or drink otherwise advertised by the club to be served as a part of the ingredients list.

The Management and Directors offer full support to any staff member who has to refuse service to an individual or group in accordance with this policy.
If a Patron is Asked to Leave and does so with any concern, they should be written into the Liquor Accord Register in detail.
The patron would then receive a BAN from the venue to 24hrs, including the use of all Club facilities.

Members – If the Member’s actions are deemed to be of a significant nature, the Management of Bomaderry Bowling Club may impose Suspensions, which take effect until after fronting the Board.
Non Members – Non-members may be Indefinitely Suspended by Management.
Supervisors can Impose a Temporary Suspension on Members, which can then be reviewed by Management, on the next Business day after such an event.
