The Library: For Members, By Members

If any of you have spent time in Drawing Room at the London clubhouse, you may have noticed a small collection of books in one corner; The Members' Library. This has recently been expanded to offer much more choice for those wanting to sit back and relax with a good book. 

The ROSL Collection

Many of you visiting the clubhouse will have noticed the wonderful artwork adorning our walls. Not just the exhibitions, centred on the Central Lounge, which change every three months, but all the other beautiful portraits and pieces scattered around the rooms, halls and staircases of the building. ROSL ARTS is currently undertaking an extensive cataloguing exercise to find out exactly what is up on our walls and what is currently tucked away in storage. Some of the artwork dates back to the very beginnings of the organisation and some is much more recent, so why undertake this massive task now? The reasons are threefold.
