The Ladies’ Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland was first formed in the spring of 1903, chiefly with the idea of enabling ladies interested in automobilism to enjoy the same privileges as the members of the parent Club, the A.C.G.B. and I., but with a Club House and organisation of their own.

The Club has a membership of over 230, and its numbers are steadily increasing. It is proposed to elect 250 “original members” who will pay no entrance fee, and whose subscriptions will always remain at their present rate of £5 5s. for town members and £3 3s. for country members. As soon as these 250 original members are elected an entrance fee will be instituted.

For some months after its inauguration the Club occupied temporary premises at the Hans Crescent Hotel, but on April 1st of this year it moved to permanent head-quarters, a separate Club House in connection with Claridge’s Hotel, in Brook-street.

The Club House consists of two floors, comprising sitting-rooms, bedrooms, dressing-rooms, and a committee-room, reached by a private hall door and staircase in Brook-street. Special terms for Club meals, and for extra bedroom accommodation, in the hotel, have been arranged with the directors, who are sparing no trouble or expense to make the Club House attractive an<l comfortable.

The Club is affiliated to the A.C.G.B. and I., and enjoys all the special touring and other facilities resulting from such affiliation, arranging for special terms for its members from several of the leading garages in the neighbourhood of Claridges. Instruction in driving, for members of the Club and their chauffeurs can be had on special terms from a driving school specially appointed by the Club.

During the winter months it is hoped to arrange for lectures on subjects interesting to motorists, and in the summer there will be Club meets and runs, one of which will be a tour from London to Homburg for the Gordon Bennett week in June. The Club being the property of a company (registered as the “Ladies’ Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland, Limited ”), which takes all financial responsibility, members are protected from all liability beyond the amount of their subscriptions.
