[Tagging] tagging 'showground'?

[Marc Gemis]

Warin,

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed on this mailing list before,
but I can't find the thread. Maybe you have more luck, perhaps when
you search for synonyms.

However, I did find something from the Australian mailing list
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2010-August/006940.html

hope this helps.
