What enters the register, and what does not
A record is an operation, not a building: a club is what happens on a shore, and on many shores the structure is taken down each autumn.
It enters when it has its own face on the shore — its own name, programme and service on the sand — and passes the bar on one of four grounds: library, shore, rated or operator. How the day is sold, and to whom, is recorded as a label with its source.
An admission charge to a park is not a day product. A bar tab is not a day product. A resort beach open only to its guests enters if it has its own face; that the day is part of the stay is written as its access label.
