jeantrans (X) (asker) Apr 16, 2011: I have decided to go with "recreational venues". The suggestions are good, and may fit better in other contexts. Thank you to everyone. Jean
rkillings Apr 10, 2011: 'venue' isn't jargon these days Certainly not legal-beagle jargon at that. Consider: ~12m Ghits with site:.co.uk alone. And check out www.venue.co.uk, a website for Bristol and Bath. ;-)
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Apr 10, 2011: Subject area In a contract perhaps, but the term in question is not really legal-beagle jargon!
cc in nyc Apr 9, 2011: All good Venues, facilities, areas.
rkillings Apr 9, 2011: Yep, "venues" is good!
jeantrans (X) (asker) Apr 9, 2011: Thanks, Tony!
Tony M Apr 9, 2011: Yes I like your own suggestion, I think 'venues' is perfect for the register; 'recreational' is a bit trickier, it really deends just what line of business they're actually in, but at least it is all-encompassing and vague enough not to rule out any possibilities.
