Nicholas Travers, GUEST SPEAKER EVENT

Throughout the nineteenth century, London’s gentlemen’s clubs stood at the heart of power, privilege, and identity. Behind the polished doors of Pall Mall and St James’s, politicians plotted, aristocrats socialised, and the city’s elite shaped the world beyond. These clubs were more than elegant retreats — they were microcosms of Victorian society, reflecting its ambitions, anxieties, and contradictions.

We are delighted to welcome Nicholas Travers, historian and author of Victorian Britain Day by Day, for a vivid journey into the world of Victorian clubland. Drawing on his extensive research into nineteenth‑century life, Nicholas will uncover the rituals, rivalries, and remarkable characters who defined London’s most exclusive institutions — and reveal what they tell us about the society that built them.

What to Expect

Nicholas will guide us through the hidden world of Victorian clubs, including:

· Inside the Clubhouse: How London’s great clubs — from the Reform to the Athenaeum — became centres of political influence, intellectual exchange, and social hierarchy.
· Power, Privilege & Identity: What membership meant in a society obsessed with class, reputation, and belonging.
· Life Behind Closed Doors: The customs, scandals, and eccentricities that shaped daily life in clubland.
· London in Transition: How the growth of the metropolis, the rise of the middle class, and the pressures of empire reshaped the city’s social landscape.

About the Speaker

Nicholas Travers is a writer and historian specialising in nineteenth‑century Britain. He is the author of Victorian Britain Day by Day, a richly detailed chronicle of life across the era, praised for its lively storytelling and meticulous research. Nicholas holds a BA and MA in History and Politics from the University of Exeter and has spoken at cultural institutions including London’s Open House. His work brings the Victorian world to life with clarity, colour, and a deep understanding of the forces that shaped modern Britain.

Author Nick Manning, GUEST SPEAKER EVENT

The area around the Wimbledon and Putney Commons is blessed with many fascinating buildings. Wonderful houses, churches, hospitality and sporting venues, and other notable man-made structures abound.

‘The Beautiful Buildings of Wimbledon, Putney and Roehampton’ by Nick Manning tells the story of these buildings and the intriguing people who lived in them. The structures are the silent narrators of our history and the extraordinary events that took place around them. This new book is a sequel to ‘The Commoners’, the story of the most ‘notable neighbours’ of our area, which Nick talked about at the club when it first appeared.

We are delighted to welcome him back for an illuminating evening exploring the man-made treasures of our area. Nick’s presentation will be tailor-made to feature the area immediately around the Winchester House Club, with stories that go beyond the book.

What to Expect

• Nick will present his customised version and describe the man-made structures and the lives of the people who made the area around the club remarkable. The lives of royals and aristocrats, senior military commanders, authors, activists, clergy, industrialists, sporting heroes and many others are told through the structures they created or lived in.

• Nick will sign copies of both books afterwards, and £5 per copy sold will be donated to the Wimbledon and Putney Commons Conservators and Wimbledon BookFest.

About the Speaker

Nick is a dedicated chronicler of our local history, writing extensively on the people and places that made our area the remarkable place it is.

Old World vs New World

A Comparative Wine Club Evening

Join us for a relaxed and engaging Wine Club evening exploring one of wine’s most fascinating themes — the contrast between Old World and New World winemaking.

This tasting will examine how geography, climate, tradition, and philosophy influence style. By comparing classic European benchmarks with modern interpretations from newer wine-producing regions, we’ll explore how the same grape varieties can express themselves in very different ways.

The evening will begin with a glass of sparkling wine on arrival, followed by a guided but informal tasting of six wines. Each pairing will place an Old World example alongside a New World counterpart, allowing guests to taste the differences side by side. Expect contrasts in structure, fruit profile, oak influence, alcohol levels, and overall balance.

While final wines are being confirmed, the selection will focus on high-quality, well-chosen examples that clearly demonstrate stylistic differences and offer genuine interest and depth.

To accompany the tasting, guests will enjoy a generous sharing platter of carefully selected nibbles, designed to be substantial, sociable, and well matched to the wines.

This evening is ideal for regular Wine Club attendees, members who enjoy discovering new wines, and anyone curious about how place and tradition shape what ends up in the glass. The tone will be informative yet informal — no prior wine knowledge required.

£35 per person, including:

• A glass of sparkling wine on arrival

• A guided tasting of six wines (Old World vs New World comparisons)

• A generous sharing platter

Spaces are limited.

Anna Borzello, GUEST SPEAKER EVENT

For as long as London has existed, the River Thames has been a keeper of secrets. Rubbish discarded, treasures lost, and everyday objects swept away by the tide have settled into the riverbed — only to re-emerge centuries later. Each fragment offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who shaped this city, from Roman soldiers to medieval craftsmen to Victorian families.

We are delighted to welcome Anna Borzello, one of London’s most respected mudlarks, for a captivating exploration of the Thames foreshore and the stories hidden within it. Drawing on more than a decade of searching the river at low tide, Anna will reveal what these objects tell us about London’s past — and the people who lived it.

What to Expect

Anna will guide us through the world of mudlarking, including:

· Lost & Found London: How everyday objects — from 17th‑century wig curlers to Stone Age flint tools — illuminate the city’s forgotten histories.
· Reading the River: What the Thames preserves, what it destroys, and why certain artefacts survive for millennia.
· Lives in Fragments: The human stories behind her most intriguing discoveries.
· A Curated Display: A selection of Anna’s personal finds will be on show during the event, offering a rare chance to see these artefacts up close.

About the Speaker

Anna Borzello has spent more than eleven years mudlarking along the Thames. Her finds have been exhibited across London and beyond, and she regularly speaks in schools, colleges, and festivals about the history hidden in the river’s mud. Her work has featured in podcasts, books, and the national press, and her photographs and oral histories were recently showcased in the Secrets of The Thames exhibition at the London Museum.
She shares her discoveries on Instagram: @foreshoreseashore

France Beyond Bordeaux: A Fresh Look at French Wine

Join us for a relaxed and sociable Wine Club evening exploring France beyond its most famous labels. This tasting is designed to showcase the breadth and character of French wine once you look past Bordeaux, focusing on distinctive styles, historic regions, and grapes that reward curiosity.

Across the evening, guests will taste six French wines that highlight a different side of France. We’ll explore French sparkling wines from outside Champagne, chosen to show just how much quality and elegance can be found beyond the headline region. We’ll also taste Malbec from Cahors, its original home, where the grape produces darker, more savoury and structured wines than many people expect. Completing the selection will be two wines from the Loire Valley, showcasing the region’s trademark freshness and versatility through both white and red styles.

The tasting will be hosted but informal, with short introductions to each wine and plenty of time to enjoy, compare, and discuss them at your own pace.

To accompany the wines, each table will be served generous grazing platters, featuring a mix of cheeses, cured meats, bread, olives, and complementary accompaniments — substantial, sociable, and well matched to the wines on the evening.

This event is ideal for regular Wine Club attendees, members who enjoy French wine and would like to broaden their horizons, and anyone who prefers a friendly, relaxed tasting rather than a formal wine lecture. No prior wine knowledge is required.

£30 per person, including:

• A welcome drink on arrival

• A tasting of six French wines

• Substantial grazing platters for the table

Spaces are limited. Advance booking recommended

Richard Williams OBE, GUEST SPEAKER EVENT

In February 2022, the geopolitical landscape of Europe changed forever. As Russia launched the first war of conquest on the continent since 1945, the then-Defence Secretary issued a stark warning: "UK defence is not fit for purpose."

Four years on from that pivotal moment, where do we stand?

We are delighted to welcome Lt Col (Rtd) Richard Williams OBE to the Club for an incisive briefing on the state of our national security. Drawing on decades of experience at the very highest levels of military and diplomatic planning, Richard will take stock of the progress made since 2022.

What to Expect

Richard will provide a "state of the nation" overview, sketching through:

· Our New Alliances: How the UK is repositioning itself on the global stage.

· Force & Equipment: A candid look at our front-line capabilities and deployments.

· Adversary Tactics: What our rivals have been up to while the West recalibrates.

· The Special Relationship: A deep dive into UK-US defence links, explaining why these bonds remain as critical to Washington as they are to London.

About the Speaker

Lt Col (Rtd) Richard Williams OBE brings a wealth of "inside the room" perspective. His 30-year career spanned the RAF and Reserve Army, with operations in Lebanon, Somalia, the Gulf, and the Balkans.

His credentials include three years in the Pentagon (USAF War Plans) and a mobilization into the Cabinet Office for Gulf War II. He has served as Deputy High Representative of Bosnia under Lord Paddy Ashdown and has briefed both the House of Commons Defence Committee and the US Embassy.
