I generally dine at clubs with friends when in town - Reform, East India, Savile or O&C.

Is dining at clubs an experience limited to members...or is it possible to enjoy a clubby experience on an ad hoc basis? Thanks...

You need to be a member or a member's guest or have some brass neck.

But although worn now in both town and country, tweed remains resolutely informal. Lord Harris once tried to break with tradition by wearing a tweed suit into the Royal Enclosure at Ascot, in place of morning dress. 'Mornig, Harris', he was greeted by King Edward VII. 'Goin' rattin'?'

The pith of sense and pride of worth
Are higher rank than all that.
