A qualifying club must meet the following conditions:
- it has premises that are occupied and used regularly for club purposes
- the club rules state a person must wait at least 2 days from their application before getting membership privileges
- alcohol and entertainment are only provided to members and their guests
- only someone over the age of 18 and elected to do so can purchase and serve alcohol
- there is no arrangement for anyone to benefit financially by buying and selling alcohol
- the club is established and conducted in good faith
- the club has at least 25 members
For further information about a club premises certificate, visit the GOV.UK website.
