Secret Club Society

Play for Good.

Auckland. Invitation only.

An evening you are asked to, not sold.

Secret Club Society is a small society that meets a few times a year at a table. Black tie and masks. The room holds a hundred and fifty. Every seat plays for a charity, and the charity is named before the first hand is dealt.

Membership is by invitation. If someone has given you this address, you are welcome to ask.
