Private clubs should not feel obligated to try to spell out any such
rule or regulations. They shoul be free to invite and have anyone
they want to come. I do think a return of the pro rata membership fee
would be the fair thing to do though.

When is it appropriate to ban a player from a chess club?

The statues of the club should make it clear. Typically,
a member who is consistently acting against the interest
of the club, or whose influence in other ways on the
club, society or organization will be detrimental
can be expelled.

Banning -- i.e. temporary suspension of membership privileges --
seems like an appropriate measure against first offences of
a nature that, once it's clear it is deliberate and wilful,
would cause explusion.
