Happy New Year to Clubland Substack subscribers! This latest round-up again includes a free sample item - but the wider press coverage of Clubland is reserved for paying members. It remains the best way to keep informed about clubs making the news worldwide.


Members of the Garrick Club have been left bemused by the following piece in the Daily Mail’s ‘Eden Confidential’ diary column:

Garrick Club members have expressed some bafflement as to the identity of the mystery couple, though The Sun claims to know, reporting that the suspended member is “a figure known to millions.” They quote an unnamed source as saying, “In all the years the Garrick has opened its doors, nothing has quite sent members reeling like this. This behaviour was more akin to sleazy Soho club rather than this stuffy establishment.” Neither the Garrick nor the unnamed-and-suspended member responded to The Sun for comment.


The rest of the press round-up below continues to be a feature for paying subscribers only.

This fortnight’s edition contains 20 more stories drawn from 26 outlets worldwide.

If you are enjoying the Clubland Substack, do consider supporting my work as a paying subscriber - it means I can justify setting aside more of my time to bring you more material. And because of extra features like the below, my paying subscribers are some of the most informed people in Clubland.
