Join the K Club — if you have right links

Its fortunes may have waned in recent years but it’s still a case of who you know if you want to get into the K Club.

Faced with dwindling membership, people may join the K Club Country Club for a dramatically reduced price for a limited time — but applicants must be introduced by a current member.

If they do, the usual joining fee of a cool €80,000 will be waived and all you have to pay is an annual rate of €4,500 (plus VAT) as a man and €2,250 as a woman.
