Member Benefits – Affiliate Club Access Worldwide Member Benefits 2016 Affiliate Club Access Worldwide For a number of years, the University Club has been working on increasing its network of clubs with which it has reciprocal agreements, so that as a UCT member you can access any one of hundreds of clubs worldwide and make use of their facilities as you would your own. The list of clubs with whom we have agreements has increased exponentially, largely through the auspices of a special arrangement with the International Associate group of clubs. The University Club pays a yearly fee on behalf of its members to access this additional group of affiliations. The IACs organisation has focussed on parts of the world where we had less experience, but where there is an increasing demand for services, such as the Gulf, Asia and middle Europe. As a result, you now have over 350 clubs you can access with your University Club membership. Given the number of changes, you might enjoy taking a few moments to peruse the new list and begin making plans for your next business trip, or, more enjoyably, some personal travel! When you are planning on making a trip, contact the club you wish to visit and make your reservation. The next step is to contact our front desk staff and request a letter of introduction which will cover the period of your visit. Letters are generally good for thirty days, and they confirm that you are a member in good standing. Our front desk can be reached at: [email protected]. Special arrangements can be made in extended stay circumstances if you contact the General Manager. Please request a copy of the letter of introduction that the front desk will send to the affiliate, since it is always safer to have the introduction on your person when you walk through the door just in case. It is also wise to ask that your confirmation number be referenced in the introduction letter - most clubs will provide some type of confirmation code when you make your booking. Note that arriving at an affiliate without a letter of introduction will likely result in being turned away. Use of any affiliate is subject to the rules of the host club, most of whom will require that you settle your account before departure. Each club has its own dress code and rules of conduct. Please ensure that you refer to their website for details in advance. There are several advantages of making use of the affiliates. The first is that you may not know the country or city well, and don’t want to go wrong; with an affiliate you are assured that the standard is one that you will feel comfortable with. The second is the cost; there are many members who concur that they cover the cost of their UCT annual dues simply by using affiliates a few times a year. Clubs in general charge well under local hotel rates as most operate as not-for-profits and exist for the benefit of their membership – and ours once we have the benefit of reciprocity. Visit our website at www.universitycluboftoronto.com to print out a full list of the clubs you can access, or ask us to forward one to you by mail. Affiliated Clubs 2016 = Overnight Accommodation Available NOTE: A Letter of Introduction is required for all affiliated clubs and can be arranged through the UCT front desk at [email protected]. Members are responsible for making their own bookings at reciprocal clubs and settling all charges prior to departure at clubs outside of Canada CLUBS IN CANADA ALBERTA The Glencoe Golf & Country Club & Downtown 636-29th Avenue S.W.

  • Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’S Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City
    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’s Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 GENTLEMEN’S CLUBS IN LONDON Nell Benjamin describes her fictional Explorers Club in the opening stage directions of the play: We are in the bar of the Explorers club. It is decorated in high Victorian style, with dark woods, leather chairs, and weird souvenirs from various expeditions like snowshoes, African masks, and hideous bits of taxidermy. There is a sofa, a bar, and several cushy club chairs. A stair leads up to club bedrooms. Pictured above is the bar at the Savile Club in London, which is a traditional gentlemen’s club founded in 1868 and located at 69 Brook Street in Mayfair. Most of the gentlemen’s clubs in existence in London in 1879, the time of the play, had been established earlier, and were clustered together closer to the heart of the city. Clubs in the Pall Mall area were: The Athenaeum, est. 1824; The Travellers Club, est. 1819; The (original) Reform Club, 1832; The Army and Navy Club, 1837; Guard’s Club, 1810; United University Club, est. 1821, which became the Oxford and Cambridge Club in 1830; and the Reform Club (second location), est. 1836. Clubs on St. James Street were: Whites, est. 1693; Brooks, est. 1762; Boodles, est. 1762; The Carlton Club, 1832; Pratt’s, est. 1857; and Arthur’s, est. 1827. Clubs in St. James Square were: The East India Club, est. 1849 and Pratt’s, est. 1857.

  • Club Architecture a Vessel of Behavior, Language and Politics
    Club ArChiteCture A vessel of behAvior, lAnguAge And politiCs Without constituting a heterotopia, since it is not a place to confine ‘otherness’ but to bring together those who precisely turn away from it, the club is perhaps the best-known urban manifestation of a space of exception. Explaining its emergence in Victorian England, and analyzing one of its emblematic cases in London, this text allows us to understand not only the club spatiality but also its architectural politics of exclusion. Keywords · typology, exclusion, gentlemen, Reform Club, London Clubbism is a great mystery, and its adepts must be cautious as to how they explain its shibboleth to the outer barbarian. (Sala, 1862:207) There is something about clubs that inspire curiosity; they are at- tractive because you are not a part of them. They are exclusive with codes that are furtive to non-members. Club architecture works as a boundary that divides public life from private space where only mem- bers and their guests can access, a condition that is usually reinforced by staircases, vestibules or grand entrances. The facade can give you some hints about the club’s life, but only the interior can unravel what it is about. Its way of life is transmitted through its spaces. Once inside the clubhouse, space triggers a change in attitude; an effect that is only similar to religious architecture, where rituals establish the appropriate way to act. Churches and clubs are gath- ering spaces for closed communities that have speech and social interaction as their main activity. In the club, as in the temple, the relation between behavior and space becomes more evident when you don’t understand the ‘belief’ or culture behind the conduct.

  • Why This? the Quarterly Newsletter of the University Club of Toronto
    The quarterly newsletter of the University Club of Toronto September, 2016 Editor: Donald Rumball As the quartet’s residency coincides with their project to perform all of Beethoven’s string quartets, we are the beneficiaries of an extraordinary learning opportunity. Prior to each concert, the quartet introduces us to the music we are about to hear by playing extracts and illustrating how the piece is put together. They show us how experimental Beethoven was in his time, and how startlingly modern some of his work still sounds. We also get a sense of how the quartet functions as individual voices within the strict discipline of the string quartet idiom, giving credence to a comment often attributed to Goethe, “One hears four intelligent people conversing with one another, and believes one might learn something from their discourse.” Tapestry Opera We will continue to collaborate with Tapestry Opera, who presented two opera evenings last season: one featuring opera Diana Wiley introducing the New Orford String Quartet stars mezzo-soprano Krisztina Szabó and tenor David at a concert held in the lounge Pomeroy, who filled the Library with thrilling sounds in an evening of best-loved opera arias; and the other a working Music programming @uct rehearsal with the full orchestra and cast of a brand new opera that was performed to critical acclaim a week later. By Diana Wiley Over the past few years, we have been building an exceptional Jazz evenings music program, with classical, opera and jazz concerts Part of the fun of the music evenings is that they include performed by world class musicians.
