THE RENAISSANCE CLUB CELEBRATES IN STYLE

The Renaissance Club, an exclusive, Internet-based private members' club, has just celebrated its first anniversary at a spectacular party at the Hammersmith Palais.  The club's website (Rclub.co.uk) was developed by Whitespace Software Limited, and has been highly successful, attracting over 1,400 members in the first year. 

 

The uniqueness of the club lies in its ability to offer members online access to exclusive events (varying from elephant polo to wine tasting!) and to substantial discounts from selected outlets.  Because it deals directly with the companies involved, it undercuts all other concierge companies in London. 

 

Over 1,200 people attended the anniversary party, which included free drinks for an hour and a half.  The guests were entertained by Shovel from M People, Karen from Transfer, and Baby Clyde - with Chek 1 acting as the DJs.  David Johnstone, Managing Director of the Renaissance Club, says: "As an online club, we were able to organise the event through the web, using Whitespace's excellent software and back-office system.  This meant that the whole party - from the idea to the event itself - was organised in just three weeks!"

 

Whitespace is continuing to develop and enhance the website in conjunction with website designers, The Family, to meet the varying needs of the club's members.  David Johnstone continues: "The site is very secure for credit card transactions, and members can access it from anywhere in the world - easily and quickly.  Following on from the success of the London-based site, we now want to start taking the club to different cities throughout the world, with the help of Whitespace.  We are confident that it will go from strength to strength - and the more members we attract, the better deals we can offer."
