The rule is: The bar should only be operated by a Committee member or any other person properly designated on the night.
More effort is required in tidying the pavilion after Saturday matches – especially the tea makers who need to empty the fridges or rotting food and the drunkards who are too tired and emotional to take away their rubbish and clean up.
