EXPLANATORY NOTE

At present, registration fees under the Registered Clubs Act 1976 must be paid either

in full before the commencement of the registration period (that is, before 16 January in

each year) or by 2 equal (or approximately equal) instalments, the first being payable before 16 January and the second being payable within 4 months after 16 January.

The object of this Regulation is to allow registration fees for the registration period that commences on 16 January 1995 to be paid by 6 instalments. Each instalment is one sixth or approximately one sixth of the registration fee. The first instalment is payable before the registration period commences (that is, on or before 15 January 1995) and the remaining instalments are payable on or before the fifteenth day in each subsequent month.

This Regulation is made under the Registered Clubs Act 1976, in particular section

15 (Fees) and section 73 (the general regulation making power).
