Thinking about it , didnt most clubs (social , legion , labour , workingmens etc) have their own brewery , Federation ?

I've noticed there are quite a few well regarded sports clubs that get added.
I must admit I raised an eyebrow when I saw a member adding the Darlington Snooker Club, but since it won the local CAMRA pub of the year award it pretty much had to go on. It is really helpful though when the person submitting it leaves a review to explain why it should be on here.
Good Luck with the assessment Eddie. Wonder why the difference between a hotel and an inn re. stars. I recall something that an inn had to offer refreshment or/and accommodation at any time of day or night to a traveller but I think that went out years ago.
I find the term Hotel much misused these days.When I visited North London some were little more than licenced B& Bs where the beer was always on the turn. Travelodge and Travel inn were a better option in many cases.
I used to drink at a pub called the *** **** Inn. The only accommodation it had was if the lady publican fancied you for a nights entertainment.Does that come under the heading "A warm fire,etc,etc,etc ?
Quite right, the famous Federation Brewery is at Dunston, Gateshead and is now where Heinekin brew "Newcastle" Brown Ale, only for the moment though as it will soon close and brewing move to that well known geordie town........ Tadcaster. The Fed' brewery was started by a federation of northern workingmens clubs, there was also one in South Wales which I think became Crown.
Federation ale was sold in the bars in the House of Commons, but I don't think we ought to have them on PG . The clubs in the GBG tend to only let in people with CAMRA membership cards or sometimes those who wave a copy of the current guide, either way it's not really a pub.
geordie town........ Tadcaster
Ahem oldboots but sorry innit Tadcaster is Yorkie town?
I have given this thread a 'bump' having just read 'shoggie's ' post on the 'Review????' thread. He feels aggrieved because a venue that requires membership has been deleted. From memory I thought that this issue was quite clear cut, but having re-read this thread, it's actually more balanced than I recall. Maybe the issue of social clubs needs looking at again?

It seems a shame to delete any useful input, but I still think that anyone should be able to walk in and have a pint without paying an entrance fee, be that by membership or on the door.
