hi- IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE BEING VICTIMISED, & YES A COMMITEE CAN CHANGE THERE RULES BUT ONLY AT AN AGM (ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING) SO IFF YOU THINK YOU HAVE GOT THE BLUNT END FIND OUT WHY ALSO WRITE TO THE SECRETARY & DEMAND AN EXPLANATION INFRONT OF THE COMMITEE, & MAKE A POINT OF COMPLAINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO GET A MEMBERSHIP, UNLESS IT IS A MENS ONLY CLUB BUT THERES NOT MANY OF THOSE AROUND NOW, FAILING ALL THAT GO TO A SOLICITOR & ASK HOW YOU STAND REGARDING MEMBERSHIP, THEY MAY THINK THEY ARE BEING THREATEND IN SOMEWAY WITH YOU BEING AN EMPLOYEE,GOOD LUCK. d.f;

Membership only social clubs can and do whatever their by laws allow. They can exclude any one from becoming a member or allow anyone to become a member. Of course that is the reason they are member only clubs. They do not have to follow rules like other social clubs. She might want to think about getting out of there and finding a job somewhere else! Besides if she isn't working there and she still wants to join, then she should be allowed to. Unless of course they just don't want "her" to be a member!!

They probably can change the rules, but your wife should remind them that members will take more pride in the club then people who just work there. People who are proud of where they work will do a better job then people who hate where they work.

Ummm, sounds like you're not wanted?
I believe it was Groucho Marx who said he wouldn't want to join any club that would accept him as a member.
Why do you want to spend time with these people anyway???

When you deal with under handed people, these things happen. Throw the bums out.

It's a private club. They make their own rules. They can do whatever they want to do.
