So what’s the plan for 2026?

3 or 4 evenings in London and more hopefully Paris and or Nîmes, for members and their guests. Plus a selection of curated house parties in the south of France strictly for members only.

Kicking off in London in the latter half of January with a fabulous venue and some interesting twists on our proven formula of cocktails, cabaret and conversation - lots of conversation! So expect the familiar QA ingredients, ambience and dress code, but perhaps a few surprises too?

Every member is strongly encouraged to invite guests to our events, especially those interested in membership in their own right, building our numbers to create a solid core for the group will help to ensure its longevity. To this end a new membership structure is geared to incentivising building our numbers. Please bear in mind that members are always responsible for the conduct of their guests, and all membership invitations/decisions are the sole responsibility of the management team at QA.

Talking of which we've accepted some generous and much appreciated offers of help going forwards, so there really will be a team. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support, to a large extent this is why we’re able to be back!

We intend to maintain our “signature” Monday night formal event slot, and have now confirmed Monday 26th January for our relaunch! Monday evenings have the twin advantage of being relatively affordable for venue hire but also allow some “long weekending” for those coming from a greater distance. And what better way to start your week as you may intend to carry on?

We're slowly putting a new membership group together on Signal. Please be patient while reassembly (and new recruiting) is in progress…

Cheers, and welcome back!
