Refused entry to chams

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Are you already members? Heard there was a waiting list for new members to join, always advised to phone club before going if you don't have a membership.

Layout of Chams is set over 3 floors so has 2 flights of stairs to climb. There are no lifts so must use the stairs. Maybe not the best choice of club for people with mobility issues?

Always two sides to every story but if this indeed is the case it is illegal to refuse someone entry during to disability, that includes refusal due to any requirement for mobility aids.

If it was the case that walking sticks could be seen as weapons then they could refuse entry to women with hairspray, perfume or stilettos...all known and used weapons!

I doubt it's because they use a 'stick' walking stick presumably as there's a member who semi regular goes and he has a white walking 'stick' due to poor eyesight.

I've got mobility issues and where possible I avoid stairs. It wouldn't stop me from going to a club when I feel fit enoght to cope with the stairs and at that time I wouldn't have my stick with me. I don't know if the op needs thier stick perminatly or not. Xxx

"A stick could be used as a weapon" would never stand up in court. There is a reason that the poster who stated he would ban sticks does not own a club and never will.

Even on three floors, surely the OP could use the ground floor or walk aided to the first ?

The *only* possible justification is if the main starways are narrow and form the only emergency exit. If the building is old they might not have to alter it to comply.

Evidently an intentionally provocative comment, and a stupid one at that.

If the OP, like myself, is unable to walk any appreciable distance without the use of a cane or crutches, then telling them that they 'shouldn't take it' to a club is about as logical as asking a blind person not to take their guide-dog...

The bar is on the ground floor , and one playroom . Other than that the jacuzzis .

Any club has the right to refuse entry for any reason they see fit . Whether the people are disabled or not . It's up to the club who gets in and who doesn't . How do we know whether the op was being aggressive or unpleasant ?

Cham's layout isn't suitable for wheelchairs, what with steps and different levels that's just on the ground floor alone the stairs aren't the easiest.

But it is manageable with sticks.

True any club can refuse entry, but not for discriminatory reasons on grounds of race, religion or disability. If however the OP isnt a member then this is sufficient to refuse entry.

True, but the point being made is that the exemption of PMCs from the provisions of Anti-Discrimination Laws does not entitle them to engage in discriminatory practices without condemnation or censure.

True, they can't be condemned in law...but perhaps that's a sign that we need to campaign for a CHANGE in the Law. Anti-Discrimination legislation in this country is still FAR from perfect.

I attend Chams regularly and anyone who has been will know it's over 3 floors..anyone with walking difficulty could and would have great difficulty getting about. Let alone in an emergency. Plus if they used the jacuzzi then who would lift them out if they couldn't get out because of the high steps..I don't think it was meant as offensive but I don't know any club that is built to allow people in with mobility issues. Yes a member uses a white stick as he is only partially sited but is always with his partner...and can easily negotiate the stairs without assistance.

near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack!

Knowing Chams quite well, I would say it`s totally unsuitable for anyone more than mildly disabled. There are steps everywhere, step to go through the entrance, a whole flight of steps of a single width to get to the couples changing room, steps up and down into the jaccuzzis which a lot of people stumble on because they cannot see through the foaming water and soon! The main flight of steps from the ground floor is always a pinch point and far from ideal as I`m sure the owners will admit. Even for those who are fit, the stairs really start to play on the ankles and calf muscles after a busy evening.

OP. You say the woman who you spoke to was rude. You didn`t elaborate too much in what way. I`m really sorry you drove so far only to be refused but I can see the management`s reason being access problems. Perhaps bearing in mind your disabilities, some research before you went, being either through here or a phone call to the club could have saved you a lot of heartache!

And to the person who said about the main stairs being the fire exit from the upper floors, not so. You can exit the centre floor onto the walkway alongside the couples room, through the entrance to the "hotel rooms" and I`m sure I`ve seen a fire exit on the top floor but I can`t remember where from memory. The place wouldn`t be able to operate without them!

You are arguing that disabled people should be banned from certain clubs 'for their own good,' despite the fact that at least some areas of the venue might still be accessible to them.

Perhaps this thread is a sign that clubs need to do more to make their venues accessible to disabled clients?

I'm guessing it's because the couples changing rooms are on the mid floor plus playrooms are all upstairs, chams is not suitable for people who are disabled. Try xtasia as they have a back entrance to avoid the stairs although you can't access all areas there either.

However as you both say you had a journey and use sticks didn't it occur to you to ring before setting off?

To deal specifically with the issue of Private Members Clubs being exempt from Anti-Discrimination legislation.

The best thing to do is VOTE WITH YOUR FEET and boycott those venues with whose policies you disagree.

It is true that the law cannot force a PMC to adopt non-discriminatory policies, but if enough people refuse to patronise their events, then they will be forced to change them, or risk failure as a business.

That's what happened in the case of Muirfield golf club. They refused to admit women as full members, and, as a result were stripped of the right to host The Open Championship.

True, the clubs are not in purpose-built buildings - I've had to struggle myself in clubs that were built over two or three levels, avoiding the 'dark rooms' to avoid causing someone an injury with my crutches...

However, there are steps that club owners can take in order to better cater for people with disabilities. Indeed, such steps would likely IMPROVE the attendance rates at their events.

Simple, the jobcentre CANNOT, according to current legislation, 'refuse you access,' because it is providing a public service.

Also according to your example, the jobcentre DID NOT 'refuse you access,' but fulfilled its legal obligations and made alternative arrangements regarding your inter_iew.

The point is that clubs appear to be using 'health and safety concerns' as an excuse to justify the wholesale exclusion of disabled clients.

Has anybody from the club management actually stated what their policies are?

I think that a private members club can refuse membership to anyone they choose but they cannot state that they are refusing you because of a disability.

OP did the member of staff actually state you can't come in because of your mobility or are you assumming that is the reason why?

Chams has a lot of stairs, only the bar and hot tubs are on the ground floor, changing rooms and play rokms are all up stairs.

Maybe, I say maybe as I don't know, they refused you entry on health and safety grounds. In the event of an emergency could you leave quickly and safely and not impede others, would it cause problems with their insurance if you were allowed entry.

Unfortunately, the Government thought it was a great idea to provide PMCs with an exemption...hence why they can, if they so choose, use 'health and safety' as a stick with which to beat disabled people, rather than making an effort to be inclusive.

As I see it it's up to the individual to asatain if they are capable of using the facilities or not. As long as the club follows the helth n saftly guidlines in their insurance.

"Im not descriminating against disabled folk at all, iv said chams are within there rights to refuse entry

And my comment with regards to esa was simply because if you can attend chams without the need of a stick that you would overwise need every other time, to me that starts certain alarm bells ringing

If you weren't blocked you would be able to see from my location that I'm notwhere near chams.

Your not suupose to talk about this in the forum ?"

She can. It's only against the rules if she asks to be unblocked.

"how am i bullying? Theres clearly fuck all wrong with your fingers or the ability to give the gob back"

To answer your question, you've been called out by numerous users - myself included - for having posted comments designed to belittle disabled people and justify 'legalised discrimination.'

To respond to your subsidiary observation, just because my legs and motor cortex are fucked doesn't mean that my fingers and cerebral cortex aren't in full working order.

I would prefer that venues take steps to ensure that their venues are as accessible as possible for disabled persons, rather than instituting a blanket 'denial of access.'

English is quite obviously not your native tongue hence you can't spell allowed or fxxx. However what you said is rude & abrasive in any language. Anybody else agree or am I being discriminatory?
