There had been circulated copies of an application for a variation of premises licence together with the current and proposed Operating Plans.  Mr Tunnah, Licensing Standards and Enforcement Officer advised that the application was to extend the operating hours and increase the scope of activities.  The Convener welcomed Mrs Brown, representative for the club who advised that the Bowling Club membership had expanded by 60% in the last few years and the changes to the licence would increase the social aspects and bring the club in line with other licensed premises in the town.  In response to clarification sought on the introduction of non-members to the club, it was confirmed that it was four non-members at any one time.  There were no representations and the application was granted.
