My uncle Anthony, a civil servant, was a member and told me a number of the UUC staff moved to the merged club. When I had tea with him at the O&C club c1974 he was offered, but declined, a cup of tea which appeared to have no tea in it. As my uncle was (over) fond of alcohol I have always assumed there was some gin in the cup. Surely the best sort of club servant, who knows members’ “special requirements “!
