Thanks Kye
I'm wondering if the issue of 'awareness of a service/facility' in
an 'area' rather than pinpointing to a GPS location, is something
that OSM can handle. I know I'm seeking to relate a non-tangible
'aspect' to what is really a tangible physical location, but so
many things in a town are 'aspects/features' that don't pysically
reside at one single point - nor are they a WAY or a bounded AREA
either. Apologies again, if we're trying to put OSM to the wrong
purpose. My answer to Ben in last response, where club names don't
sound like a town location, is what makes alternative lists on
websites a non-solution too, whereas a MAP perfectly illustrates
that a club is 'nearby'.
I'll now struggle for an analogy, but let me try. It's a bit like
trying to MAP the 'rough' locations of where whale watching is best
to observe, and the answers are: Cape Bridgewater, Portland and
Warrnambool, but we don't necessarily want to pinpoint the GPS
location of one specific beach location to drive too. Howeverm a n
OSM map, bounded by an overall restriction (say Australia only)
would permit three DOTS to appear around the Shipwreck coast to
demonstrate that's the place to go for whales.
..... back to tracking the 180 woodworking clubs.....

I have to agree with Ben..
It doesn't make sense to add tags to the
place node. If the contact details were added to the place node,
a thieve could pretend to be a new member and get the address...
depends on your member enrollment system.
I am going to assume many businesses tagged
in osm have valuable equipment readily available for thieves.
Hi.
I think if the club has a location, then map a node at
the club's location. (e.g. some type of amenity tag) Use
the normal tags for contact details (phone number, web
site).
I don't think it makes sense to add tags to the place
node.

Intent: Would like to tag locations of many woodworking club houses
around Australia
Issue: * Woodworking clubs like to attract new members, or visiting
members from other clubs
* Woodworking clubs often contain expensive machinery -
theft target
* But they do have websites that we can link to
* Some don't have websites, but newsletters
(pdf)
* If newsletters are linked to, they often
contain personal names & phone numbers
Proposal: * Add a tag to suburbs (place=suburb) that have
woodworking clubs. Such as:
* place=suburb, club:woodwork=yes,
club:woodwork:website=website.org
* Add a tag to woodwork clubs that want their
clubhouse location known, such as:
* club=woodwork (note
craft/shop=woodwork would be wrong, as
these places are not for commercial use)
* Contact woodwork clubs and ask them if / how
they wish to be tagged
* Worst case scenario would be to create a
separate database and host that as an overlay to
OSM
Issues: * Which tag(s) to use
* Tagging suburbs with woodwork club facilities (Would
very much like to know if this is ok, or if there are
alternatives)
* Legal issues (privacy?) if we were to link to
newsletters
* Woodworking club houses are often owned by the
council, but can be privately owned - some extra info
Any feedback would be very welcome.
For testing purposes we have identified 6 'example'
clubs that don't mind their full exposure right to an
address.
https://overpass-turbo.eu/?w="club"%3D"woodwork"+global&R
But feedback from various parties suggest it might be
better to have a POINTER only at a SUBURB level,
along with some sort of description that demonstrates
that there is a 'club' in the area "nearby"
