Egham United Services Club, should we delete?
Admin note from Conrad: This post has been moved to a new thread from an existing thread
I have no doubt that this is a centre of excellence for beer, but the fact remains it is a private club. A couple of weeks ago The Brookside Social Club (South Elmsall) had its listing deleted for similar entry criteria. (See 'Review???' thread #165 onwards) On the grounds of consistency and fairness I feel the same should be applied here.

The posts that a&h refers to are here.
I have to admit I was tempted to remove Egham United Services Club out of hand it is clearly a members club and as a&h correctly points out that is apparently the criteria for deletion used elsewhere.
However there are a number of members reviews against it, and this site is for the members enjoyment.
Your thoughts are welcomed, but to be clear the fact that it lets CAMRA members in is a brilliant excuse as far as I am concerned to delete it, so any justifications had better be based on a different excuse.
I reckon, despite the reviews, it does not meet the "any member of public walk in off the street etc" criteria and thus should go as per A&H suggestion
I agree what Aleandhearty says, you should'nt have to carry books or cards about to gain entry to a drinking establishment
It should be removed - although it seems a decent club it is not open to the general public. I am not a CAMRA member and if I can't call in without meeting certain criteria or paying it has to go !
I am a salmon !!
It should only be removed if someone can get back the ten minutes of my life spent writing the review!
