how many clubs have tempory rostrums?, as suggested a pallet and folk lift, no who has a licence for it and is covered to lift somone up on it?? try a risk assesment on that ( yup more H&S crap)
you could build a ramp to the rostrum for all to use but you would need a far less steeper angle of stairs to the rostrum level, or a double flight, then the slope if too steep is a slip hazard.
here a sugestion, two scafold planks each side of the steps, leaving steps in the middle and a 4x4 12 volt winch to pull chair up and down?

The two words that are inherently linked to the DDA and HASAW are reasonably practicable as mentioned in the post:
What is reasonable for my business?
You should consider the following when deciding what sort of change is likely to be reasonable for your company:- Type of business
- Size of the business and annual turnover
- Cost of the adjustment
- Disruption to the business while the work is being carried out
- Practicality of carrying out the adjustment
- Potential benefits to disabled customers and employees
