It is is now permanently moored as a museum ship on the River Thames in London and is operated by the Imperial War Museum. Construction of Belfast, the first ship in the Royal Navy to be named after the capital city of Northern Ireland and one of ten Town-class cruisers, began in December 1936. She was launched on St Patrick’s Day 1938. In 1967, efforts were initiated to avert Belfast’s expected scrapping and to preserve her as a museum ship. 4 Gold Alliance Amstel 336, 1017AS Amsterdam | [email protected] | www.goldalliance.org Gold Alliance Amstel 336, 1017AS Amsterdam | [email protected] | www.goldalliance.org HISTORY OF THE HOST CLUBS The Lansdowne Club The Lansdowne Club gives little outward sign to passers by of its distin- guished past. However, this noble Mayfair club is not merely a haven of civilised calm, but an architectural gem, rich in nearly 250 years of history. Built in 1763, Lansdowne House became a social club in 1935. Unlike its contemporaries, The Lansdowne Club has admitted men and women with equal social status since its doors opened. Today it is considered one of the most exclusive and traditional private members’ clubs in London. It has always had a relatively young membership, with an active social scene. The venue was founded as a ‘social, residential and athletic Club for members of social standing’ and their families, and unlike many rivals, it had no vocational, artistic, or political ‘theme’. Its facilities include a ballroom, a terrace, a fencing Salle and a basement gym with Art Deco swimming pool. Internally architecture is extremely unusual; some is modern for its type, being significantly Art Deco, as opposed to Georgian/ Victorian/Edwardian styles. The Adam Room and other parts of the Club on the ground floor are Georgian though. National Liberal Club Founded in 1882 by William Ewart Gladstone, the National Liberal Club exists to provide the very best club facilities for relaxing and entertaining in the heart of London, for members whose interests vary from liberal politics to the liberal arts. The club remains completely independent of any party, but as the name implies, continues to be closely identified with the Liberal tradition, and Liberals worldwide. The NLC’s liberal heritage meant that it was conceived as a club that should be able to outshine any of the more established aristocratic clubs of London; but for membership to remain much more accessible than other clubs. It was one of London’s first major gentle- men’s clubs to admit women as full members; and from its launch in the 1880s it was unusual in embracing a diverse range of members of many different ethnic, social and religious backgrounds. Overlooking the Thames, with “the most splendid terrace in London”, the club is within easy reach of Whitehall, the West End, the City and Theatreland. The club is blessed with an extraordinary building by noted Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse, and is also conveniently situated for underground and mainline stations which are close by. 5 Gold Alliance Amstel
