Warin & I have discussed this topic recently on a changeset:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/123785819, & are sort of in two
minds about it, so it's probably a good idea to put it out to get
everybody's thoughts.

I've recently finished tidying up & adding details right along the GC
beaches, including all the Surf Clubs.

As most of you would know, Surf Clubs & SLSCs are, more or less, two
separate things - the Surf Club is the social side of things, which houses
the bar, restaurant & Gaming Room, is usually open to the public, seven
days/week, from morning till late at night, & is usually upstairs in the
building.

The actual SLSC / lifesavers are downstairs in that building, where the
First Aid room is located, are usually only present Sa-Su 8-18 between Sept
- April. They will frequently have a different contact number /
website/page to the Surf Club.

I have been tagging them like so: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/41751839,
as a building named "xxx Surf Club", tagged as a club= surf_life_saving;
together with a separate node for the SLSC:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5419450227, named "xxx SLSC", tagged as
emergency=lifeguard + lifeguard=base + leisure=sports_centre (which I know
is certainly not great, but is the only way I can find to render the name
as lifeguard doesn't render :-(), together with their operating hours &
contact details.

So, what do we all think is the best option for having, & showing, 2 lots
of info for the same premises?

Thanks

Graeme
