Le CGC est l’un des plus prestigieux club - William et Harry en sont membres et les deux "royal patrons" sont le Duc de Kent et la Duchesse de Cornouailles. a b Cavalry and Guards Club: A Brief History of the Building and the Club, accessed 9 December 2021Though socially distanced for everyone?s safety, the Troopers and Chelsea Pensioners enjoyed hot bacon rolls and a good cup of tea in the September early morning sunshine. The horses were treated to a small handful of polo mints and were given lots of attention from the veterans who?d missed their equine friends. The soldiers young and old shared tales of service life today and in the past with lots of smiles and increasing laughter as the military banter filled the brisk morning air. The club narrowly avoided closure in 1987, when its landlord sold the premises on to a property developer, who planned to convert the building into luxury flats. This was averted through the membership raising the capital to buy the property for the club. Edward VIII was known to spend a great deal of time in the Cavalry Club premises in the 1920s and 1930s, when he was Prince of Wales. The advantage from the traveller’s perspective, as LuganoPirate has noted, is the reciprocal club network. I have used reciprocal clubs in Bangkok, New York, Mumbai, London and, most recently, San Francisco where I enjoyed a few very pleasurable gin-and-tonics with a colleague one evening at less-than-market prices in an uncrowded, quiet, oak-panelled, comfortable bar walking distance from the business district. These places really are a haven, and even if you are not with someone it is very pleasant to be able to go to a place where you know you will have a friendly reception, probably be able to have a chat with someone else at the bar if you feel so inclined, usually pay less than ordinary bar or restaurant prices, and in any event not feel too sad if you are on your own because so many members’ clubs do have a contingent of regulars who go solo
