I spent an hour talking to Brian Garvey about membership requirements as I am thinking of joining. Garvey's is a European club that is their charter. They do allow exceptions (hopefully, me) but the charter is for a European club and this is what their operating license is based on. Therefore, Europeans of any color get priority for membership/

There is no color bar to Garvey's whatsoever and old man Garvey is not racist. His wife is from Goa as is most of his staff. If you have doubts, ask the staff if Garvey's is racist.

There charter does not allow them to accept Muslims (this is not down to Garvey's but to Sheik Faisal who is the sponsor). The application form asks for your religion so that if necesssary they can prove they do not accept muslim members.

Also, I am white and everytime I have been there (usually with Arab friends) I have always had to pay the 20QR.

This is not refusing to see the truth. This is fact. If you don't believe me you are welcome to speak to my Arab friends who go there with me.
