407 - JDW's APPROACH TO RESPONSIBLE DRINKS RETAILING The issue of binge drinking is a very big one in the media at the current time, combined with the fear of the unknown with the introduction of the Licensing Act 2003, and we all know that a minority of peopl e behave very badly after a few drinks. It is particularly noticeable when people let their hair down for a special occasion, and some feel it is okay to behave in a way that is offensive to the majority of the population, or to those not involved in the 'party'. At Wetherspoon, we understand that we are in the business of selling alcohol, and cannot take the high moral ground, but we have tried to create a convivial environment, which encourages people, within reason, to behave well. In many licensin g applications around the country, trade competitors over the years have tried to say that Wetherspoon 'causes trouble' in the areas in which our pubs are located. However, when the issue has been examined in court, the evidence strongly indicates that th ere is no increase in crime or disorder in the locality of our pubs as a result of our openings. In a planning application in South Shields, the local inspector telephoned all the licensing districts in which we traded and indicated that Wetherspoons had an extremely good reputation. Some of the things we have done over the years have been: - a) NO SELLING UP Our most recent move in this area is to remove incentives for people to drink more alcohol than they intended by, for example, stopping two for one offers, reducing the number of shots in pitchers from 6 to 4, and stopping selling spirit doubles for less than the price of two single measures. Wetherspoon is the only substantial national pub company, of which we are aware, that has introduced t his restriction. We have now tried to remove all financial incentives to 'trade up' to a larger quantity of alcohol. Some people say that our prices are lower than average and this is true. However, working men's clubs and breweries like Samuel Smiths a nd Joseph Holts also charge less than average, but are not generally regarded as sources of binge drinking. In any event, supermarkets charge less than half our prices for most products. b) NO 'ALL YOU CAN DRINK FOR Â£10' OFFERS These offers have beco me notorious and most people in the industry strongly disapprove of them. Obviously, we do not have these offers at Wetherspoon. c) GOOD SELECTION OF LOW PRICED SOFT DRINKS As well as selling competitively priced beer, Wetherspoon also sells a wide ra nge of soft drinks at considerably lower prices than almost all other pubs. Studies have shown that the availability and prominent display of soft drinks, coffee and tea have a helpful effect on excessive alcohol consumption. Infact we sell more cups of c offee than our best selling bottle lager -Budweiser. d) GOOD TRAINING FOR MANAGERS AND STAFF AND A HIGH RATIO OF MANAGERS PER PUB Wetherspoon has led the way in training for managed house pub companies and we recently won the Supreme Training Award fr om the BII for three years in a row. We have won numerous other awards over the years and our training programmes for managers are second to none. We also have a high number of managers per pub, aiming for 5 on average in our pubs. Our managers are ALL tr ained to the NLC standard set by the BIT and in addition will shortly be trained and certificated under the SIA; we believe this to be unique in the licensed industry. Good training and a high management presence are regarded as important factors in cur tailing bad behaviour resulting from alcohol consumption. e) WORKING WEEK

408 - J D WETHERSPOON PLC OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS A.PROCEDURAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE LICENSING OBJECTIVES 1. JD Wetherspoon pic currently operates over 550 licensed premises throughout England and Wales. Over the last 25 years the company has developed a s ophisticated range of procedures aimed at providing a safe and convivial environment in which the public may enjoy the wide range of facilities which the company offers. 2. The procedures which the company has put in place are subject to constant revi ew and improvement and are the result of careful consideration by our experienced team of directors, managers and professional advisors. 3. It has always been the company's policy to work closely with the statutory authorities and to adopt their recom mendations where appropriate. The result is that our operating procedures address each of 1he Licensing Objectives under the Licensing Act 2003 and comply closely with other regulatory requirements. 4. This Overview of Operations is intended to provid e a general guide to the way in which the company seeks to trade. There is a considerable over lap between the measures we have adopted and the Licensing Objectives so that some of the company's procedures will simultaneously address more than one of the objectives. For example, the staff training procedures address all four objectives while the CCTV policy meets the crime prevention and the prevention of public nuisance objectives. 5. Where appropriate, the objective which is addressed by a particula r procedure is identified in the relevant heading. B. KEY ELEMENTS OF A JD WETHERSPOON PUB 6. The combination of facilities offered within the company's premises is the key to our success and compliance with the licensing objectives. They are c onsidered in detail below but most significantly include: a) Carefully planned and well appointed premises with the provision of high quality furniture in a high proportion of the licensed area. b) Extensive range of well kept traditional ales. c) Carefully selected wines by the bottle and glass d) Large range of soft drinks, including fresh juices e) Enhanced range of coffee, cappuccino, latte, espresso and tea f) Wide ranging food menu available throughout trading hours (to 1 hr before closing or midnight whichever is the earlier) g) Extensive kitchen provision h) Full disabled facilities i) No smoking areas (a minimum of one third of the trading area -with all new openings totally non smoking and an ongoing convers
