GENTLEMENS CLUBS------Nothing knew and always been sordid places where the royals/rich/establishment/church ministers hung out!? Famous members of such clubs being BURNS/WALTER SCOTT/DUNDAS and many more and that is just Scotland. Most famous 2 being the BEGGARS BENISON and EDINBURGH WIG CLUB and when the BENISON club wound up they tried to get rid of all recorded of names etc!? Ones that still exist such as the EDINBURGH NEW CLUB allowed women entry but that was not til the late 1970s etc! Would be interesting to know all the members of such clubs today and should add many have MASONIC STAMPED ALL OVER THEM!?-----The new clubhouse opened for lunch on Monday 15 December 1969. Ladies were first admitted as Associate Members to the club on 25 March 1970 (Lady Day). Only wives of Members could be elected until October 2010, when ladies were permitted full membership and their husbands could join as Associate Members.
