What is GENIeL?
GENIeL is a private invitation only club offering its discerning membership relaxation and entertainment at hosted musical, theatrical, social and sporting occasions in the UK; and at hosted wildlife, gourmet and cultural adventures worldwide.
GENIeL was formed by a group of 100 Founder Members who had been clients and close associates of Clive Thomas during his 40 years of providing them with special privileges at theatrical, musical and social occasions, fine dining and escorted travel. In forming a by invitation only Club we ensured that the company at events is always agreeable, and indeed GENIeL!
The events are for members and for member’s guests only. In this way, whilst the members are from all different walks of life and therefore potentially interesting people; with new members being admitted principally for their lighthearted approach, love of life, and not taking themselves too seriously, we know that we’ll be spending time with others to whom we might naturally gravitate as friends.
Members will also have the opportunity to join the Gourmet Knights. The Knights are people who are partial to the joys of the table, are no strangers to culinary adventures!
