HMC Schools and the J7 Scheme |
J7 and the East India ClubAs a result of a scheme initiated many years ago, young men on leaving their Headmasters Conference (HMC) school could join the Public School’s Club for seven years with a letter of recommendation from their headmaster! This tradition was carried on following the merger of the Public School’s Club with the East India in 1972. The years - and inflation - have taken their toll on the pound, but the spirit of the scheme remains, and the current fee represents outstanding value with nothing more to pay until the age of 25 and no joining fee. The facility must, however, be taken up within 18 months of leaving school. The J7s are full East India Club members, enjoying all the facilities provided by the club, and currently account for some 40% of the total membership. To apply please speak to your HMC school headmaster who will propose you, or write to / email The Membership Secretary for more information. A programme of events is organised by the Club throughout the year, including dinners and cocktail parties, a golf society and cricket team, chess and snooker competitions and access to cricket at Lord's, our box at Ascot and rugby internationals at Twickenham. |
