(iii) there is no longer a need for the addresses to be shown on the record of persons engaged in the supply of intoxicating liquor;

(iv) a monthly report of all sums due to the club is no longer required; and

(v) there is no longer a need for anyone preparing reports, vouchers, receipts, etc., to record their address on such documents.
