Subject: RE: Info. on folk music in private clubs
Thanks to all who have replied so far. In answer to Ian C's first questions

1)We have an 'ashtray' whipround on singers nights, and a door admission fee on guest nights

2)The folk club (NOT cricket club) advertises locally via fliers to other clubs and occasional local paper ads. when we have a paid guest.This is once every six weeks or so.

3)We don't really recruit new members, but any newcomer who starts to turn up fairly regularly will be made aware that they should be a member of the cricket club because it's private and we have to comply with the law. Also the members/regulars gain an advantage on guest nights cos they gain entrance for smaller fee, than say those who may appear just once to see a particular 'star' guest and never return.It would appear Ian, from the further information you posted, that we may, therefore, be regarded as a place of entertainment, private or not!Thanks for the help.

Andy
