CLUBLAND LONDON with Kenneth Park

Friday 26 May 2023, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM

"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member" is a quote attributed to the great Groucho Marx.

Nonetheless, membership of the right club(s) was regarded by many as a good indicator of your social standing. Indeed, clubs have long been part of the London social scene and in more recent years many have moved with the times with innovative makeovers, relaxation of rules and welcoming of the opposite sex as members.

Take a look into clubland London.

KENNETH W PARK has served as Curator of Collections at Wesley College, Melbourne for just on thirty years. This role sees him responsible for the school’s extensive art and archival collections. Kenneth also consults in both the corporate and public sectors in philanthropic fundraising (especially in planned giving) as well as marketing, sponsorship, art, membership / loyalty and public relations.

An avid traveller, tour leader and lecturer, Kenneth works with a range of tourism organisations and travel companies across the globe. He lives by the motto: ‘Life is a grand tour so make the most of it’.

His tertiary studies include political science, administration, museum studies, industrial relations, fine arts, history, and international relations. Kenneth has a passion for travel, food, wine, arts, architecture, history, and good conversation … essentially the good life
