Kembla Grange Racecourse is committed to the Responsible Service of Alcohol.

Kembla Grange Racecourse:

  • recognises that it is against the law to serve anyone to intoxication.
  • recognises that it is against the law to serve anyone under the age of 18.
  • recognises that it is against the law to allow disruptive or violent behavior to occur on these premises.

Refusal of Service

It is against the law to serve an intoxicated person, which has serious consequences for the staff member and the Club. Whilst an individual’s patronage is greatly valued, intoxicated persons will be requested to leave the premises. Failure to leave as requested will result in Police action and a possible fine.

Drinking and Driving

Staff members will be pro-active in seeking to discourage drinking and driving. The club will assist with alternative transport arrangements including posting train timetables at the entrance to the racecourse, assisting with the use of the TripPlanner app, and calling taxis.
