No problem, thanks for your questions...
Ahh I see... Well, becoming a member in these current troubled economic times should be a little easier as people start to reign in the money...
Again, I'd suggest doing your research... Some clubs like Shoreditch House, Groucho Club, Soho House and Victory are very strict about only allowing in people who are from a certain profession - the media and creative industries - and many require that you have two existing members vouch for you as well... These places tend to be really strict on their criteria...
However, many clubs are more open... By appointment only usually means they like to meet potential members first... Not quite an interview, but close! They want to make sure you'll fit in with their current members, dress smartly and aren't a time waster. However, it does also give you the opportunity to find out more about the club and have a look round before signing on the dotted line... For these clubs, if you call and say you're genuinely interested in membership then they usually have a member of staff or department who will run through the process with you... Just make sure you prepare like an interview! Check out the details of the clubs you're interested in and work out what they want from members... Make sure you dress the part and remember that they want members! These clubs ARE exclusive, but they are still a business at the end of the day and need membership fees to stay afloat... You may be put on a waiting list for some of the bigger clubs, but it's worth asking the question...
Good luck with the hunt!
