In relation to the on-sales terminal hour being extended to 2300, it is Board policy that children and

wish to require this curfew or allow access to 2300 hours.  It is also Board policy that the operation
of outdoor areas cease by 2200 for persons aged 18 years and over and 2000 for children and young
persons.  If the Board is minded to require this curfew, the box at Question 5(f) should be updated
