(Past version on 30/06/1997).

(1) Where the Director has set aside any part of any pleasure  ground, and
described the part so set aside in a notice affixed or set up in some
conspicuous position in such pleasure ground, for the purpose of any game
specified in the notice, which, by reason of the rules or manner of playing
thereof, or for the prevention of damage, danger or discomfort to any person
in the pleasure ground, may necessitate, at any time during the continuance of
the game, the exclusive use by the player or players of any space in such part
of the pleasure ground, no person shall in any space elsewhere in the
pleasure ground play or take part in any game specified in such notice in such
a manner as to exclude persons not playing or taking part in the game from the
use of such space.

(2) No person resorting to any pleasure ground and playing or taking part in
any game for which the exclusive use of any part of any pleasure ground has
been set aside under this section shall, without the permission of the
Director,-

   (a)  play on such part any game other than the game for which it is set
        aside;

   (b)  in preparing for playing and in playing, wilfully or negligently
        interfere with the proper use of the pleasure ground by other persons;

   (c)  when the part is already occupied by other players, play thereon
        without their permission: Provided that, where the Director has
        allocated the part for a particular period of time to such other
        players, no person shall play thereon without the permission of such
        other players within such period.
