Lunch with Mrs B and a few chums

A fund raising lunch for Westcombe Park Rugby Club held at the East India Club, St James' Square.
Founded in the middle of the 19th century, its original members were 'the servants of the East India Company and Commissioned Officers of Her Majesty's Army and Navy'. The legacy of those early members, home on furlough from far flung lands, continues today. As a private club, only open to members and their guests, the club still provides a refuge and meeting place for busy young men and their more seasoned seniors.
The original house in which the Club was founded was noted for being the location where Wellington's dispatch from Waterloo was presented to the Prince Regent.
