Talk of the bar reminds me of the nights Grant Batty's (All Black winger) sister was a guest of a ULAS member. She drank as well as her brother scored tries - which was frequently and oft!!
Then there was the newly minted APO who, when asked for 1250 at the door, expressed serious surprise that it was going to cost that much each evening he attended!
Edited to add: This was in the early 1970s - a time when, as APOs, our pay cheque went just over the GBP 100 mark, a party was held at Brompton Road to relieve us of a great deal of that sum!
