• Cigarettes not to be sold (including from vending machines).
• Smoking not to be permitted in indoor spectator viewing and riding areas.
• Hiring out venue to be smoke free.
• Outdoor spectator grandstands and seating areas to be smoke free.
• All social functions (including junior events, competitions, dinners, fund raising events, meetings) of the organisation to be smoke free.
• Coaches, trainers, volunteers and officials to refrain from smoking while they are acting in an official capacity.
• Riders to refrain from smoking while in uniform.

Non Compliance
