the secretary of the club must give the relevant licensing authority notice of any change in the name, or alteration made to the rules, of the club.

Subsection (1) is subject to regulations under section 92(1) (power to prescribe fee to accompany application).

If a notice required by this section is not given within the 28 days following the day on which the change of name or alteration to the rules is made, the secretary of the club commits an offence.
