Problems dealing with Boolean data types(SQL).

Question

Greetings.
Below is an sql code i am trying to execute.
select Band, Memb_contact =
CASE 
when contact_person >= 0 then 'Yes'
else 'No' 
end, Club_Name, Club_contact
from Members, Club
where contact_person = 'Yes'
My column contact_person has a data type of boolean. It stores 1 and -1 only.
I'm am trying to execute the select statement to return The Band Name and contact number only if the person
is identified as a contact person in the members table.
It return the following error:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Yes' to data type bit.
Please help.

Try the below: You can not have 'Yes' instead use 1.
select Band, Memb_contact =
CASE 
when contact_person >= 0 then 'Yes'
else 'No' 
end, Club_Name, Club_contact
from Members, Club
where contact_person = 1
