Scandal-hit club shuts amid groping claims
24 January 2018
The Presidents Club says it is to close following allegations that hostesses were groped at its men-only annual charity dinner.
It said remaining funds would be distributed to children's charities "in an efficient manner".
There was widespread outrage following claims about the event by an undercover FT reporter, and charities said they would return past donations.
It also led to the resignation of a Department for Education director.
David Meller, who helped to organise the dinner, quit his non-executive role following the reports.
