The Other Half Club was founded decades ago, primarily as a dining club for the partners of actuaries.
The Other Half Club was founded decades ago, primarily as a dining club for the partners of actuaries. While we still aim to dine at the Café du Marché, Charterhouse Square, three times a year, the range of our social activities has expanded. Most of our events take place in or around London for ease of access.
Dinners are for members and their guests only but all other events are open to members, their partners and friends.
Every year we arrange a guided walk. This month, we are combining a tour of Highgate Cemetery and the newly restored Kenwood House with a walk across Hampstead Heath.
A return visit to the Chelsea Physic Garden is planned for late summer. Our membership of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama gives us access to their concerts, plays and other events.
We are always looking for something or somewhere a little bit different to visit. In the past we've organised successful visits to the Restaurant at the Clink, HMP Brixton and also an ice sculpting exhibition.
We try to arrange tours of buildings or institutions not always open to individuals. As an example, our recent visit to 2 Temple Place proved extremely popular with our members.
Although their exhibitions are open to the general public, tours of the house are restricted to group bookings. During the coming months groups of us will be visiting Grange Park Opera in Hampshire, and also the Royal College of Needlework based at Hampton Court Palace.
We are delighted to welcome new members. If interested, contact Lesley Birse, our administrator, or me at [email protected].
