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 totalisators made off course.

(3) (a) This scheme shall come into force on the day following 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 impracticable 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 a club affiliated to the New Zealand Trotting Conference;

(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
