East India Club-thoughts?
Hi guys,
Don't know if this the best place to post this but...
As some of you will know HMC schools leavers are eligible for a reduced membership rate (£200 for 7 years) at the East India Club in London, a relatively exclusive gentleman's club. Is anyone here a member of the club? Do people think its worth it for novelty value alone?
EDIT: forgot to post link to site, www.eastindiaclub.com
Thanks

Any reason in particular for choosing the EIC?
I suppose it'd probably be a novelty, and it's only a year's membership after all - depends if you can think of anything better to spend £200 on.
My main concern is that these clubs are social and yet unless you're extremely comfortable in the presence of older people, it may be rather awkward to fit in. I suppose if you think you can get a proposer etc, you probably already know people in the club anyway, so this point may be rather moot.
I'm hardly the more au fait with the London club scene however, being as I am a dull provincial.

The J7 scheme which means if you attend a public school (ahem) your head of school can reccommend you for membership at a seriously reduced rate for 7 years.
Following that the membership is for 7 years not 1
I'd join, but I'm female and the womens' equivilent is literally a bunch of old ladies doing play readings.

Oh right. I attended an HMC school myself... wonder if I can sneak my way in to something interesting...

Can one negotiate ones way out of it?

Play readings? Fantastic - I've very much missed that sort of thing since I left school.
