In front of a club, say, place notice (7)
I believe the answer is:
placard
'notice' is the definition.
('placard' can be a synonym of 'notice')
'in front of a club say place' is the wordplay.
'in front of' says to put letters next to each other.
'club say' becomes 'card' (club is a kind of card).
'place' becomes 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'a'+'card'='acard'
'acard' put after 'pl' is 'PLACARD'.
(Other definitions for placard that I've seen before include "Printed notice" , "what may be carried in a demo" , "Bill" , "Notice carried for public display" , "Slogan or message of protest on board" .)
