	Groucho Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Groucho Club is a well-known private arts and media club in Dean Street, Soho, London, opened in 1985 as "the antidote to the traditional club".
		In this spirit it was named after Groucho Marx because of his famous remark about not joining any club that would have him as a member.
		It has, however, the exclusivity for a new era that was always part of the traditional London Club, and performs a function akin to that of The Arts Club in the Nineteenth Century, as a power meeting house.

		Club Vice-president O’Connor was invited to the official farewell party for the Demons’ historic dressing rooms which are being demolished as part of the supposedly whiz-bang $400 million upgrade of the MCG.
		The word out of the club was that her invitation was withdrawn because the blokes wanted it to be a stag night.
		For some misogynists to try to stop a club vice-president from going to an important, symbolic club function purely on the grounds that she didn’t have an appendage is, I believe, Stone Age rubbish.

		The news that the Groucho Club is the subject of a hostile takeover bid by a cocky, fresh-faced young Sloane called Benjamin Fry has had Soho's finest drunks choking on their sea breezes.
		The Groucho's chairman, Tony Mackintosh, has rejected the offer of £9m to buy him out, and now Benji is writing to the club's shareholders, appealing to their greed by offering them £2.30 per share.
		To the Groucho's members, Soho House was somewhere you went because Groucho's had closed, in the same way that you went to ever more desperate and dank Soho dives as the evening and morning wore on.

		The Groucho's two dealers are Tim and Spike but they also have some staff aid and abet the discrete delivery of wraps, the checking of buyers out and the funnelling of new punters into the deal.
		In fact, he is remarkably astute in the way he keeps the Groucho image the risqué side of sordid, which is evident in his admit-nothing policy in relation to any violence that occurs on the premises.
		Eventually, three years later, Groucho's insurers ruled that it was insupportable to reject Pickering's claim for damages and he was paid a six figure sum in compensation.

		The club is the brainwave of Vaughan Smith, an award-winning cameraman and producer who has worked in many of the world's hot spots - Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Bosnia - and been shot twice for his trouble (once in the arm, once in the mobile phone).
		The club's chairman was a founding member of the Groucho Club.
		The club has already signed up 300 members [it costs £250 to join] and is on course to meet its target of 1,100 by next summer.

		Founded in a four-storey Soho town house in 1984 it was seen as an antidote to fusty Edwardian gentlemen’s clubs.
		Brigadier Charles Ritchie, secretary of the New Club, said: "Reciprocal arrangements merely mean that when you are with a club you then have the opportunity to visit other like-minded kindred spirit clubs where you can also stay and feel at home when you go there and their members do when they come here."
		A spokesperson for the Groucho Club said it was not policy to comment on membership.

		The Groucho Club is a sort of salon des refusés: it consists of all the people who are paired with clubs that won’t have them as members.
		Since the pairing of people with clubs is assumed to be complete, there must be some fellow who is paired up with the Groucho Club.
		But if he is not a member of the Groucho Club, then, since the club he is paired with won’t have him, he is a member of the Groucho Club.

		Far from Ms Burchill being a glamorous figure, holding court with fawning friends, she was remembered as "an uncomfortable and slightly desperate figure", not to mention "a tubby woman in a scruffy blue raincoat".

	London Notes - Should water sparkle or fizz?
		Control of the Groucho Club in Dean Street, Soho, was sold last year to a trio of city slickers for about £11.8 million (about $17 million), bringing unexpected enrichment to the raffish gang of publishers, writers, and celebrities who set it up in 1984 as a place for their kind of people to hang out.
		The Groucho's old guard, proud of the club's slightly sleazy informality (something that may also have appealed to Bill Clinton when he dropped in there before Christmas), have been anxious to resist any threats to its character from the men in suits.
		Apart from the occasional arrival for dinner of a shy-looking City type, perhaps trying to impress a young woman with the trendiness of the club in which he's taken a stake, the crowd remains predominantly "artistic" and laid-back.

		Suitably enough it was Maia Sissons, daughter of Groucho founder, publisher Michael Sissons, who was first to march up the redcarpeted aisle to marry her photographer boyfriend, Justin Leighton.
		The Groucho, now owned by suave entrepreneur Joel Cadbury, organised the licence after it was barraged with requests from members, who include Stephen Fry, Ewan McGre gor and Salman Rushdie.
		In contrast to the Groucho's riotous reputation, the wedding was a very civilised affair with Maia retiring early to spare the club the shock of hosting its first birth as well.

	SIMON LOUVISH :: NON-FICTION :: MONKEY BUSINESS
		Would it be all right if he went into the water up to his knees?" But it is the first joke that is the inspiration for the Groucho Club, the second being too ethnically specific, and therefore less existentially profound.
		All I can conclude, at this distance from the events, is that for Groucho, there appeared to be no middle ground: adoration or derision seemed to be the poles between which his temperament veered.
		That his Jewishness was a sore travail to Groucho is apparent from those two infamous jokes with which we began.

	Review \| Kill Me Tender by Daniel Klein
		Franklin, a philosopher and newspaperman, and Groucho, a wisecracking talk-show host, were in the business of posing tough questions and coming up with snappy answers.
		Elvis, known for his gyrating hips, soulful baritone and (at least in the early days of his career) superb musical taste, spent most of his career being manipulated by his manager and held virtual prisoner by his redneck entourage and pill-prescribing physicians.
		With the aid of Dr. Billy Jackson, a former army medic who runs a threadbare clinic for the fl community just outside of Memphis, he discovers that a rare plant poison is associated with the deaths and concludes that a serial killer is at work.

		Although the club’s owners are rumoured to have orginally paid £60,000 for the sculpture, although estimates put its current value at more like £100,000.

		No, all Fry wants to do is brush up the club's image by opening its doors to more exciting individuals than the crusty present members.
		Because the Groucho is the shrine to a self-regarding breed that fights for its patch with tooth and claw.
		When journalists take themselves and each other too seriously, they pat each other on the back rather than egg each other on to rake the muck; when they're dazzled by their own greatness, they are blind to others' flaws.
