Snip> "I would strive NOT to make such a policy too restrictive (eg. a policy which requires only unaccompanied singing is patently absurd!)."
Not at all absurd, Shimrod. Any common interest group who choose to come together for the satisfaction of that interest have, quite correctly, the right to include, or exclude, whomever they wish.

A club without some policy of operation is, by definition, inefficient, and IMHO unlikely to flourish. "Too restrictive" in this context is meaningless, unless the restriction in practise prevents the club from performing as needed. So a group of a capella singers might very reasonably exclude musicians on the basis that none are required for their particular style of performance.
