I think you've explained well, the approach here.  The purpose of OSM and my desire for a map showing general directory of clubs is indeed a mismatch.   But nonetheless, worthy of trying, I hope you'd agree.

Until a solution for overcoming the risk or the fear of exposing the location of the actual  clubs is found,  then pure OSM appears not to be the way forward.   But for those (like the six example cases)  that do want to promote their location,  then the way we already have it (minimal info to ensure no spam to emails or unsolicited calls to phone numbers, or tagging out of date names of committee members for instance) - then that aspect was already a goer.

I'll standby for some more terrific feedback from this question posed today.   Thanks for your insight,  Andrew.

Hi Gary,

I think that the options are either tag the exact location as club=woodwork or leave it out of OSM. So I don't agree with adding it on the suburb or locality. OSM is a geographic database not a business directory, so we don't have any way to add business without an exact location on the ground.

If you'd like to only have a map at the suburb/locality level I think it's a perfect use case of having your own data on top of OSM using something like umap https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/, geojson.io http://geojson.io/, or Mapbox https://www.mapbox.com (full disclosure, I work with Mapbox).
