There are many clubs in the United Kingdom that have inconsistent tagging on OSM, I aim to use this thread to bring them into focus and see if :
-
There is an agreed set of tags for each club
-
If those agreed tags can and should be used as presets on the Name Suggestion Index (NSI)
Presently the only club on the NSI labelled as operating in Great Britain is the “The Scout Association” (NSI link) although it is not clear to me what this means so I shall distinguish between “scout” type groups and non-“scout” groups in this list.
- The Scout Association (Wikipedia)
- Squirrels
- Beavers
- Cubs
- Scouts
- Explorer Scouts
- Scout Network
- Air Scouts
- Sea Scouts
- Select Non-scout Youth Clubs (Wikipedia Catagory)
- Army Cadet Force
- RAF Air Cadets
-
- Air Training Corps (part of RAFAC)
-
- Combined Cadet Force (part of RAFAC)
- Girlguiding
- Police Cadets
- Sea Cadets
- St John Ambulance Cadets
- Adult clubs
- Men’s Sheds
- Women’s Institute
- Army Reserve
- Working men’s club (leisure=social_club vs amenity=social_club)
Some of these clubs may not be suitable for the NSI as they are not “brands” for example “Working men’s club” is listed as both a leisure and amenity social_club , however it might be agreed that it should still appear as a preset on an element geo-restricted to the UK or GB (whether this is done by the NSI or some other part of OSM perhaps someone could explain).
I welcome any feedback as to my approach or for any additions to this list, where a club has numerous locations across the country.
