    Folks, I'm trying to figure out precisely what the Registration of Clubs Act is actually set up to do. Is it only of relevance to clubs that wish to then apply for a drinks licence? Or is it a more generic act than this, and if another Act refers to a Club as a legal entity, does this act apply?

    that's pretty much the reason; the registrar of clubs in your county will tend to be the clerk of the District Court - coincidentally the same person who will process the application by the local GAA club to have a 'social' there on a friday night, or the regular bingo....

    If the local snooker club (which doesn't have any assets but merely 24 people who have an interest in the game) meet in a local pub or whatever, they don't need to have themselves registered with anybody from a legal standpoint. If they have their own premises, then it's slightly different, cos from an insurance point alone, they'd need some class of 'legal entity' status; no company will give insurance to '24 like minded individuals'...if y'get me drift!

    What I'm more thinking of is that the new amendments to the Firearms Acts talk specifically about clubs as a legal entity, and I'm just wondering if that reference to clubs would mean existing groups of like minded individuals would have to officially register as clubs?
