When I joined in 1974 I was given a ‘look up, and down’. I recall a superior of mine, possibly twice my age, who applied at the same time but was ‘blakballed’ as not being ‘suitable’. Somehow I doubt this still goes on. Except perhaps at certain clubs in the St James club area in London.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-48233761343022766432017-11-17T14:11:48.917-05:002017-11-17T14:11:48.917-05:00That is a great story, I'll bet your father is...That is a great story, I'll bet your father is/was an interesting man.JCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518847106800874966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-72147949189321262582017-11-17T12:09:37.462-05:002017-11-17T12:09:37.462-05:00For many years my family enjoyed "belonging&q...For many years my family enjoyed "belonging" at the Boston Yacht Club. We always parked just outside that quite small parking lot at the club and for good reason. We would take the launch out to our sailboat and sound the horn for pickup when it was time to get a ride back at the end of the day....one prolonged, two short if my memory serves me right. What a wonderful aura to the place...until they finally figured out we weren't actually members! Ooops! My father had an uncanny knack for walking into places he didn't belong as if he owned them. Ultimately we joined the Corinthian for real...I think. If we weren't members there I feel for whoever had to pick up our food tab at the pool.
