 This was later amended to the form of a standard price for everyone, with a £3 per night, subsequently 10%, discount for members on booking directly.Until the 1980s consumption of alcohol was not allowed; drinking at the hostel could lead to offenders being banned from the hostel.The ban was initially lifted only for alcohol purchased at hostels with a table licence such as Edale, but later it was permitted to bring and drink beer, cider and wine (not spirits), but only accompanying a meal.
