On Tuesday 13th May, the Club was privileged to host a distinguished evening with Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton KCB, ADC, FREng, Chief of the Air Staff, as our guest speaker. 

As we marked the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, we honoured the courage, sacrifice, and enduring spirit of all who served.

On Thursday 8th May, we had the profound honour of commemorating the 80th Anniversary of VE Day with a truly memorable evening at the Club.

From 19th May, we are proud to offer our Members a special Chelsea Flower Show Afternoon Tea. Inspired by the iconic event, this seasonal celebration features delicate blooms and botanical delights—an ideal complement to a day at the show.
