[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 128380, member: 35"] [COLOR=Black]A Cosmopolitan Club embroiled in controversy after barring a turban-wearing community leader from its premises has voted not to change its entry rules about headwear. The Manurewa Cosmopolitan Club's annual general meeting yesterday voted to keep the club's headwear policy - which bans entry to all people with headgear, including those wearing it for religious reasons.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] The [/COLOR] [COLOR=Black][I]Herald[/I] understands from club members at the meeting that the rules were relaxed to allow headgear that is worn for "health reasons", such as a bandage or a bandanna used by a cancer patient. Club manager Patricia Rangi did not want to comment yesterday, but said through a spokesman that the club would issue a statement today.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] The Manurewa Cosmopolitan Club, in Manukau City, faced strong criticism from the Sikh community last year after it banned leader Karnail Singh from entering to attend a function held in his honour.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] The matter was taken to the Human Rights Commission in January, and the parties agreed at mediation that, depending on the outcome of yesterday's meeting, the issue could go back to the commission.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] It was the second time in two years that the club had been taken to the commission.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] The first time was after it banned a Muslim international student because she was wearing a headscarf.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] Despite the club's agreeing at the first mediation to review its head-dress policy, it decided at that time not to make any changes.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] Yesterday, the chairman of the Sikh Centre, Verpal Singh, said he had not heard from the club but would be "absolutely disappointed" if it continued to ban guests wearing religious and cultural headgear.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] "We will not let the matter rest because the original understanding was that if the AGM couldn't resolve it, then we will go back to Human Rights [Commission] and also consider all the options that are open to us."[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] Verpal Singh said his group was seeking legal advice for a possible class action against the club.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] "The decision to ban religious headwear doesn't just affect the Sikhs.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] "It also affects other religious groups and even the wider community, because it would be denying people their right to take certain guests to the club," he said. A Cosmopolitan Club member, who did not want to be named, said the general feeling of members at yesterday's meeting was that it should not bend its rules for anybody.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Black] "Many felt that once you change the rules to let in people who wear turbans, then the next thing you know is that we will also have to let people wear hoodies and balaclavas into the premises."[/COLOR] [URL="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/religion-and-beliefs/news/article.cfm?c_id=301&objectid=10651716"]Cossie club votes to keep ban on turbans - Religion and Beliefs - NZ Herald News[/URL] [/QUOTE]
