Athenaeum Club Members

I have information that the following person was a member of the Athenaeum Club. Austen St. Barbe Harrison (1891 – 1976) was a British architect, whose works included Nuffield College, Oxford and the Rockefeller Museum, Jerusalem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austen_Harrison —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.167.61.186 (talk) 17:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Athenaeum today

The information and sources used are very history focused. I would like more information about how the Athenaeum Club works today. What do contemporary members tend to do in there? Just meet and chat? Are there organised lectures or other events for members? How do people become members? Is there a member fee? Can members of the public visit and, if so, for what? Dining? Entertainment? To use the library? Do visitors pay? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.7.35 (talk) 17:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Meet and chat, have guests for lunch or tea, use the library. There are also lectures and other events organised. Membership is by election, having a proposer and seconder among the existing membership of the club. In practice one must have achieved a certain level of notoriety or be well-acquainted with a number of existing members. There are dues. The club is not open to the public. However, some events (lectures, dinners) that take place in the clubhouse may be open to non-members. --194.98.58.121 (talk) 13:23, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Savile citation

Citation for the (alleged) child molester Jimmy Savile's Athenaeum membership. It would be a shame if he were removed from the list of the notables, I'm sure he fitted in! Please can someone update the main page, as I'm not terribly familiar with editing Wikipedia...

Another citation The Telegraph, 21 October 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/jimmy-savile/9623780/Edwina-Currie-I-have-nothing-to-hide-over-Jimmy-Savile.html states that:

"Following Savile’s appointment at Broadmoor, Alan Franey, an administrator who spent 10 years working at Leeds General Infirmary, also began work on the same taskforce, with progress to be reported to Mrs Currie. In a book about psychiatric care, Mr Franey described having “an unusual meeting” with health officials in the Athenaeum Club in London, where his new role on the temporary taskforce was proposed. He neglected to mention in the book that Savile, who was a member of the Athenaeum, was also present. When asked by The Sunday Telegraph if Savile was also there, Mr Franey agreed."

[1]

The book The Telegraph article is referencing is "Managing High Security Psychiatric Care", Edited by Charles Kaye and Alan Franey (1998) ISBN: 978-1-85302-581-5

At pp34 - 35 Alan Franey describes the meeting itself (available to view on Amazon.co.uk here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Managing-Security-Psychiatric-Forensic-ebook/dp/B0079J2FXK)

It's should still read Sir Jimmy Savile

Can somone add in a section on Jimmy Savile membership, please. Make sure article is balanced and sourced. Plenty of stories in Uk media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.149.8 (talk) 09:29, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
