SCHEME FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF TOTALISATOR AGENCIES IN RESPECT OF RACE MEETINGS

PART I: INTRODUCTION

(1) This scheme being substantially the original scheme as
was approved on 20 September 1950, but with amendments
and modifications thereto warranted by reason of practical
experience and changes in the law, is submitted by the
Totalisator Agency Board for the approval of the Minister
of Internal Affairs as a variation of the original scheme, pursuant to section 9 (5) of the Gaming Amendment Act 1949.

This scheme is divided into parts as follows:

Part I: Introduction.

Part II: Constitution, Functions, and Powers of the Totalisator Agency Board.

Part III: Operation of the Scheme.

Part IV: Finance.

(2) Interpretation: In this scheme, if not otherwise inconsistent with the context,

(a) "The Act" means the Gaming Amendment Act 1949.
"The Board" means the Totalisator Agency Board established by the Act.
"The club" means a racing, or a trotting, or a hunt club.
"The conferences" means the New Zealand Racing Conference and the New Zealand Trotting Conference.
"The course" means the place where a race meeting is
held.
"The Minister" means the Minister of Internal Affairs.
"Race meeting" means any race meeting in New Zealand
at which the totalisator is operated and includes a
trotting meeting.
"Rules of racing" means the New Zealand Rules of
Racing and includes the New Zealand Rules of
Trotting.
"Totalisator agency" means a totalisator agency as defined by section 2 of the Act.

(b) All definitions contained in the rules of racing relating
to the operation of the totalisators on the course, or
in the regulations relating to the doubles totalisator
and any amendments or modifications thereto, shall
apply unless inconsistent with the context to any reference in this scheme to investments on the totali-
sators made off course.

(3) (a) This scheme shall come into force on the day follow-
ing that on which the Minister signifies his approval of the
scheme.

(b) On the coming into force of this scheme the previous
scheme and amendments thereto shall be deemed to be
revoked.

(4) Object of the Scheme: The object of the scheme is to
set forth the method by which investments at race meetings
may be made off course at totalisator agencies established or
controlled by the Board.

(5) Limitations of the Scheme: While the scheme sets forth
the fundamental basis for the establishment and operation of
totalisator agencies, it is considered impractical and unwise
to attempt to include in the scheme many matters of detail
relating to investments made off course. The operation of the
scheme, therefore, is being implemented in practice by rules
and regulations made pursuant to the authority of section 7
of the Act.

PART II: CONSTITUTION, FUNCTIONS, AND POWERS OF THE BOARD

(1) The Board shall have a membership of not less than six
nor more than eight of whom:

(a) Two shall be ex officio members and shall be the
presidents for the time being of the New Zealand Racing
Conference and of the New Zealand Trotting Conference
for so long as they hold office as presidents of such conferences. Provided, however, that if any ex officio member
is Chairman of the Board at the time he ceases to hold
office as president, he shall, subject to the provisions of
clause 3 (f) of this Part, continue in office as such chairman until the next succeeding annual general meeting of the
Board;

(b) Two shall be members of clubs affiliated to the New
Zealand Racing Conference who shall be appointed by the
Executive Committee of the New Zealand Racing Conference and who shall hold office only while members of a
club affiliated to the New Zealand Racing Conference;

(c) Two shall be members of clubs affiliated to the New
Zealand Trotting Conference who shall be appointed by
the Executive Committee of the New Zealand Trotting Conference and who shall hold office only while members of

(d) The Board may from time to time by resolution
increase the number of members of the Board to eight for
such period as the Board shall think fit, and may from
time to time by resolution reduce the number of members
to six. The two vacant positions so created shall be filled
by the appointment by the respective executive committees
of two persons, one of whom shall be a member of a club
affiliated to the New Zealand Racing Conference and one
of whom shall be a member of a club affiliated to the New
Zealand Trotting Conference and such appointed members
shall, until the Board shall decide to reduce the membership of the Board to six, be deemed to be regular members of
the Board subject to retirement in rotation and with the
