SUMMARY:Smithdown Social Arts Hub Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce the Institution will be collaborating with Smithdown Social Arts Hub in hosting a unique exhibition here at the Club between 12th September and 30th November. \nFeaturing approximately 60 pieces from local artists\, the exhibition will be launched at a Private Viewing for Proprietors on 12th September\, ahead of a public launch on Friday 13th September. We will then offer ticketed viewings to the public on Thursday and Friday evenings (subject to events taking place). \nThe exhibition will take place in Dining Room on the third floor and will be available for Proprietors to view throughout\, save for when events are taking place. \nFrom September 2nd until November 30th\, we are pleased to be able to offer Dining Room services in the Newsroom\, and we’re thrilled to expand our offering and service times throughout the exhibition. Between 12:00pm and 7:30pm members and guests will be able to dine off a specially curated menu which will change weekly. This will be in place each day we’re open\, including Saturdays! \nMembers are encouraged to book tables in advance to help the team\, though walk ins are of course accepted subject to availability. Tables booked before 12pm on the day of the booking can be booked for as late as 7:30pm\, with the final opening for walk-ins being 7:00pm. \nAt the moment\, Dining Room services as standard operate between 12:30pm and 2:00pm Tuesday-Friday\, but we’re really excited to widen this offering in the Newsroom whilst the exhibition takes place. \nAhead of September\, the popular summer buffet returns from Tuesday 6th August and will operate throughout August in the Newsroom. This will allow for much needed maintenance to take place on the dining room ceiling\, which needs to be stripped back and replastered in placed following water ingress. \nIf you have any questions about this\, please address them to the General Manager or the Club Secretary.

SUMMARY:Literature Group
DESCRIPTION:The Literature Group typically meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 2:00pm in the Reading Room. \n  \nToday’s meeting: POEMS FOR AN ECHOING BATHROOM  !! \nGo on\, admit it\, we’ve all cut loose in the bathroom with our favourite verses sending a shiver through the shower head and startling the loofah as the tiled acoustic makes us sound like Richard Burton or Judi Dench !   You know you did !    Poetry is meant to be spoken\, declaimed even roared so why not bring in a favourite  or a few to get the attention of the pigeons outside Primark ?     There can be whispers\, too : certainly one I have in mind is elegiac.    No need to explain your selection\, just take a breath\, stand and deliver.  [ No\, I’m not reciting ” The Highwayman ” though it’s a great bathroom boomer. ] \nThis could be a lively end to the year of wonderful literary events organised by Paul Burns which have so enhanced our lives. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Rogue Agent: By James Crossland (Book Launch)
DESCRIPTION:A SPECIAL BOOK LAUNCH FOR ROGUE AGENT BY JAMES CROSSLAND\nIN LIVERPOOL’S ICONIC ATHENAEUM LIBRARY READING ROOM \nWEDNESDAY 16TH OCTOBER 2024\n6PM TO 8PM (INCLUDES TALK AND WINE RECEPTION) \n** BOOK YOUR TICKET ON EVENTBRITE NOW ** \nROGUE AGENT: THE THRILLING BIOGRAPHY OF ROBERT BRUCE LOCKHART\, BRITAIN’S ‘AGENT’ IN MOSCOW \nSir Robert Bruce Lockhart (1887–1970) was an impressive figure: a diplomat\, intelligence agent\, conspirator\, journalist and propagandist who played a key role in both world wars. He was a man who charmed his way into the confidences of everyone from Leon Trotsky to Anthony Eden. A man whom the influential press baron Lord Beaverbook claimed ‘could well have been prime minister’. And yet Lockhart died almost forgotten and near destitute\, a Scottish footnote in the pages of history. \nRogue Agent is the first biography of this gifted yet habitually flawed maverick. It chronicles his many exploits\, from his time as Britain’s ‘Agent’ in Moscow\, and his role in a plot to bring down the communist regime\, to leading the Political Warfare Executive\, a secret body responsible for disinformation and propaganda in the Second World War. \nExploring Lockhart’s unorthodox thinking and contributions to the development of psychological warfare as well as his hedonistic lifestyle\, late nights and many affairs that left him in a state of perpetual debt\, Rogue Agent tells the thrilling story of this unconventional war hero. \nJoin James Crossland in conversation with Ian Skillicorn of the Liverpool Book Club for this special book launch event\, which includes a live author interview and audience Q&A in the Athenaeum Library Reading Room\, followed by a wine and canapés reception in the News Room. \nThere are only a few tickets left at the time of writing\, book your place now via the Concierge.
