Re: Brace yerself, Lord Huxley. This is going to smart.
Strange. The reason they were always exempt before is that they are private members clubs and could choose to allow whichever members they liked. The fact that it was only men they allowed was ancillary. I find it disturbing that the government is interfering with the right of private clubs to choose their own membership. What about women only aerobics classes? Presumably men will now be allowed to join those?
Edit: Ahh... I just read on. Clubs can keep their single sex status if they only allow members of one sex.

Isn't that rather inherent in being a club that allows only one gender?Pappa wrote:Clubs can keep their single sex status if they only allow members of one sex.

Some clubs allow female guests or allow female members limited access.Bella Fortuna wrote:Isn't that rather inherent in being a club that allows only one gender?Pappa wrote:Clubs can keep their single sex status if they only allow members of one sex.
If you read the article, my comment would have made sense.

Well, it could be a single sex club that allows female guests at certain times or in certain areas.Bella Fortuna wrote:Then it's not.....a.....single...sex...... club.....

Re: Brace yerself, Lord Huxley. This is going to smart.
Yeah, but if it is a private club then what right does the government have to tell them they have to either be 0% or 100% exclusive? Why can't they be 80% exclusive?Pappa wrote:Well, it could be a single sex club that allows female guests at certain times or in certain areas.Bella Fortuna wrote:Then it's not.....a.....single...sex...... club.....
