CIRCA invites all its members with a guest to the CIRCA Christmas Drinks Party which will be held in the stylish Savile Row, London W1 showroom of the UK Importer of such well known Italian labels as Liberty Rose and Messori  which are sold at Harvey Nichols and other top-end retailers in the UK. Beautiful wool and cashmere mix Italian suits and jackets and much, much more available at below wholesale prices. Places are limited to the first 200 members that RSVP to spencer@circa-club.com. Print out your invitation with full address details - http://www.circa-club.com/sponsorship/invite-xmas.jpg.

All CIRCA members that are on the Guest List for our Christmas Drinks party will be included on the After Party Guest List at "Too2Much". Too2Much extends a personal invitation to CIRCA members to "indulge". It is about service, quality, pleasure and excess. The spirit of the club is best captured by the tongue in cheek club rules - Code of Conduct: Best behaviour is NOT to be tolerated (Graham Norton) Etiquette: The naughtiest waiter must be tipped (Patrick Cox). It is a luxuriously hedonistic space complete with red velvet walls where anything can happen and does happen. Enjoy ! Address: Too2Much, Walkers Court, off Brewer Street, Soho, London W1. Tel: 020 7437 4400 Website: www.too2much.com.

The first of many CIRCA drinks parties for Platinum members and invited guests was held at The Games Room, a stylish private members club in Mayfair, off Berkley Square, London W1. It was a great night and the CIRCA cocktail "Redberry Rockets", a lethal combination of champagne, cognac and cranberry juice, was very well received. Photographs from the evening will be available to be viewed under "Photo Gallery" in "Library" very shortly.  CIRCA will be returning to the Games Room in 2005.

Sunday afternoon saw London is great and the good at a Charity Lunch and Auction in aid of the Sir Elton John Aids Foundation. Following a magnificent five course lunch the auction began. Bidding was fast and furious with some lots going for over a grand. A fabulous evening of entertainment followed including: opera, a live band, drag cabaret and a PA from Therese, the songstress on the Stonebridge hit and yes those were real  flamingos in the garden! CIRCA was pleased to contribute A Pair of Complimentary Gold Memberships (membership for one year - value £240) as one of the raffle prizes.
