Hi,
Andrew has it correct ... the map shows the actual location. Many things
on the map could be targets for theft - car mechanics garages for instance.
Sorry but I don't see anyway that an area can be mapped for a club
workshop,
the address will be found to anyone who really wants it, all that
putting it in OSM does is makes it a little easier.
A google search on woodworking clubs gets a few hits - most of them with
addresses.
As for spam emails and emails to past office holders .. too easy?
Email for club secretary? [email protected] as an
example -
The gmail account can be past from one office holder to the next.
Gmail does filter spam somewhat too.
This may go against gmails rules .. contact them and see if they can
understand the requirement and if they would accept it.
Phone numbers are some what harder unless you have a landline at the
club premises - there you can forward a call to another number .. and
that number can be kept up to date for the present contact person.
You will probably need to pay for 2 landlines - incoming and outgoing -
and some equipment to do the job.
If that is too much - a simple landline going to a message recorder
would be very easy.

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phone numbers, or tagging out of date names of committee members for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/ <http://geojson.io/#map=2/20.0/0.0>, or Mapbox
https://www.mapbox.com (full disclosure, I work with Mapbox).
