Partners
Like most clubs of its kind, Après Club keeps a short list of arrangements with properties, houses and people it admires.
The list is short on purpose. Additions are considered.
Reciprocal arrangements
Received as though expected.
Hotels, clubs and private properties where members are received as though they had been expected. The club visits in person, writes about the best of them in Après Club Recommended, and sends members who will behave.
Brand partnerships
Things the clubhouse would have anyway.
Collaborations with houses whose products would already be found in the library, the cellar, the boot room or the bathroom shelf. Capsule pieces, hosted parties and the occasional standing order. The club has worked with S.Pellegrino, Mercedes-Benz, David, Blume, Curù Skin and Château Water, and held The Clubhouse Regatta at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.
Parties
A venue, an expert and a sponsor.
Each of the club's four parties a year is built on three things: a room worth arriving at, someone who knows the subject better than anyone present, and a house happy to pour. Venues, experts and sponsors are invited to write.
Photography and film
The setting, the wardrobe and the cast.
Campaigns, shoots and productions that need a certain kind of room and a certain kind of person in it. The club can supply the styling, the setting and, on occasion, Henri.
Press
The club does not court the press.
Occasionally the press finds the club, most recently Boat International in October. Requests for comment, images and interviews go to Inès de Valcourt at press@apresclub.ca.
Correspondence
Write to the club.
Céleste answers the club's letters, usually within the week. For anything else, hello@apresclub.ca.
