Thread Name: Smoking at Folk Clubs
Subject: RE: Smoking at Folk Clubs
Anni Fentiman proposed at an AGM several years ago that Herga be a non-smoking club, so it is. By that time very few members smoked anyway. IIFRC, when we had Dick Gaughan as a guest, it was stipulated in his agent's contract that it would be a non-smoking venue, so Dick had to go outside for a smoke.
If the clubroom is separate from the bar, it's reasonable to have a non-smoking policy.
Sharp's is interesting, because the folk club is held in the bar, which at other times is the only part of C# House you can smoke in.
