Yeah, agreed that RSL's, SLSC's etc are in the same category. Are they really different from a Zagame's type venue, though? > I asked this a while back (possibly on IRC not on the list) and no-one really > knew.

IMHO, the tag for the active life saving part should be different. These two functions of "active location of sporting/lifesaving facilities" and "pub and gambling venue operating under the banner of a sports club" are really different. Along the foreshore here there are various yacht clubs - genuine locations where boats are stored etc. I'd want to tag *that* sports_club, and have a separate tag nearby like amenity=club_bistro or something if there was a restaurant/pokies venue. I think my central argument is this: Your "sports_club" venue could be - a sports facility with no eating/drinking/gambling facilities for the public - an eating/drinking/gambling venue for the public with no sports facilities - or both. This looks like a case for two distinct tags. Steve _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
