4(1)Any application for renewal of the registration of a club or institute under Part II of this Act shall (subject to sub-paragraph (3) of this paragraph) be made in January or February in the year in which the registration is due to expire, and shall be made to the clerk to the licensing authority in such form and manner, and shall contain such particulars, as may be prescribed.
(2)In the case of each club or institute whose registration under Part II of this Act is due to expire in any particular year, where an application for renewal of the registration has not already been made, the clerk to the licensing authority shall before the end of January in that year serve on the chairman or secretary of the club or institute a notice stating that the registration is due to expire in that year and that any application for renewal of the registration must be made before the end of February.
(3)The licensing authority may in any particular case entertain an application for renewal of such registration which is made after the end of February if—
(a)they are satisfied that the failure to make the application before the end of that month was due to inadvertence, and
(b)the application is made before the end of such extended period as the licensing authority may in that case allow.
5(1)At any time in March in each year, every licensing authority shall cause notice of the date, time and place appointed by the authority for the purpose of considering any applications for renewal of registration under Part II of this Act, specifying the clubs and institutes in respect of which such applications have been made to the licensing authority in that year, to be published by means of an advertisement in a newspaper circulating in the authority's area.
(2)A notice published in pursuance of the preceding sub-paragraph shall state that any person who desires to object to renewal of the registration of a particular club or institute specified in the notice should send to the clerk to the licensing authority, before 15th April, two copies of a brief statement in writing of the grounds of his objection.
(3)On or after 15th April, but not less than seven days before the date fixed by the licensing authority for the consideration of applications for renewal of registration under Part II of this Act, the clerk to the licensing authority, if he has received from any person an objection in writing to renewal of the registration of a particular club or institute, and that objection has not been withdrawn, shall send a copy of the objection to the applicant for renewal of registration of that club or institute.
