| Wednesday, 30 May 2007 | |
 From the 1st of July 2007, smoking will be banned in all enclosed public spaces and work places. This includes sports clubs like Old Leamingtonians. You will no longer be allowed to smoke ANYWHERE in the clubhouse after 1st of July.Both the smoker and the club can get heavy fines if anyone is caught smoking in the clubhouse after the introduction of the smoking ban so we would ask you to please refrain from smoking in the clubhouse. There are ashtrays outside on the patio for those who wish to smoke. Please read on for more information about the smoking ban. Where will smoking be banned?Smoking in all indoor public places will be banned. Many places - such as cinemas and public transport - have rarely permitted smoking in recent years, and so it will be places like pubs, restaurants, nightclubs and private members' clubs that feel the biggest impact of the ban. Where will you be able to smoke?
You'll
still be allowed to light up outdoors, in the home or places considered
to be 'homes', such as prisons, care homes and hotels. What will happen if I'm caught cig-in-hand?If you're caught smoking in a banned area you could be fined £50. But who's really going to care if I light up a sneaky one?Old Leamingtonians RFC could face a £2,500 fine if we fail to stop you. We could also be charged on-the-spot fines of £200 if we fail to display no-smoking signs, with the penalty increasing to £1,000 if the issue goes to court. |
