The fixed penalty notice is issued to an unnamed club for serving alcohol to its members.

A "selfish" sports club has been fined £1,000 for opening its bar and serving alcohol to members.

Council member Rob Nolan said there was "no excuse" for their actions, putting "members and the local community at risk" from Covid-19., hospitality venues, including pubs, bars and social clubs, must remain closed unless they are providing takeaway food and drinks.Mr Nolan, portfolio holder for environment and public protection, said the number of coronavirus cases in Cornwall,in the seven days up to and including 17 January, was "higher than we'd like".

Mr Nolan emphasised the council would work with businesses to help them follow the rules and how to enforce them, but they would "not hesitate" to take action against businesses who "refuse to follow the rules".
