One point which was touched on was the holding of a folk event as a private club with a registered membership, etc. The Ely Folk Club operated in this way for a period, renting a room in a pub away from the main bars. The Cambridgeshire Police advised the local Environmental Health Officer that even if a folk club is meeting as a private members club on public licensed premises, the publican must have a Public Entertainments License! The club was rendered homeless less than two days prior to a relatively expensive guest night and had to fork out £45 for a room elsewhere.
