Friends roll in to join the Corinthian Club

Already, more than 1,000 people from across Scotland have registered to become a ‘Friend’ of the new Corinthian Club, securing one of its exclusive Friend cards which promote extra benefits in the new venue.

The Corinthian Club, which will reopen on 28 August following an eight month refurbishment,  has launched a special Friend scheme, which will provide extra rewards and exclusive invitations to events staged in the club.

Creating 200 new jobs for the city, The Corinthian Club revolutionises the meeting, eating, socialising and gaming scene with the highest quality of food, drinks and service over 5 floors and 14 rooms.

The complimentary Friend card provides priority gaming room hire, gaming parking rates in The Glasshouse car park and priority karaoke bookings. The initiative also demonstrates The Corinthian Club’s focus on responsible gaming by ensuring all gamers register before they gamble, thus complying with the gaming commissions rules.

The Gold Friends card is just one of four special cards available. The Pink and Platinum Friend card, which cost £49 for one year and £75 for two years, offers complimentary weekend late night entry for the cardholder and a guest plus priority invites to events, VIP offers to shows and sporting events as well as a 20% discount on food in The Tellers Bar and Brasserie between Sunday and Wednesday. Cardholders will also receive a free bottle of champagne to toast their birthday. A donation is made from the sale of each card to the MS Society Scotland charity.

The Black Friends Card, which cost £150 for one year and £250 for two years, will open up a wide range of possibilities for business users. Card holders will gain access to range of exclusive events, such as corporate networking, wine tastings and seminars. Black cardholders will enjoy complimentary croissants for breakfast meetings, guaranteed seating for meetings – even if this means opening up a room just for you, as well corporate parking rates at the nearby NCP car park. Guests will also be able to sign in three friends for complimentary weekend late night entry to join them in the club and toast their birthdays with a complimentary bottle of champagne.

David McDowell, Group Operations Director at The Corinthian Club owners G1 Group said: “Our exclusive Friend cards will provide our customers with a wealth of exciting additional privileges. We hope that it will make them feel special in our new venue, which is set to offer something completely new, not only in Scotland but across the UK.

“We are changing the face of entertainment venues across Europe. The Corinthian Club’s unique and diverse proposition will further reinforce Glasgow’s place in the UK as a leader of style and quality and further enhance its reputation as an internationally renowned tourist centre.

“It is important that we take responsibility to ensure that all gaming is carefully monitored and managed to ensure that those who come through our doors are looked after and have an enjoyable experience with us.”
