MasterPlan

The MasterPlan is a long-term programme of restoration, refurbishment and improvement to all areas of the Club. The aim is to create a Club for the 21st Century, which is also respectful of its heritage. The work will be phased over several years to ensure that periods of closure and disruption to Members are kept to a minimum.
