Columbia Tower Club

 
As many of you know QCYC maintains a Reciprocal agreement with the "College Club Seattle."  They recently sold their building but now have an agreement with the "Columbia Tower Club."  That agreement will extend to the members of QCYC.

 

I recently was in touch with the management of the College Club Seattle, and they assured me that our members could use the Columbia Tower Club via our reciprocal; however we must follow the Columbia Tower Club "RULES.”

This is a temporary situation as, they do plan to open a new facility as soon as

they can.  In the meantime if any QCYC member would like to go to the Columbia Tower Club we must follow the procedure that Peter Sparling, sent to me in his October 14th e-mail below.

 

The College Club phone #206 622-0624

 

If you have any questions please call me.

Ed:

 

Reciprocal Members wishing to access the Columbia Tower Club (the facility College Club Members use while we wait out a new home) are required to first contact the College Club to let us know when the member intends to visit the CTC. Once we have that information we contact the CTC to gain their approval. We then contact the Reciprocal Member letting them know the CTC is expecting them. All charges are settled upon departure by credit card. This pretty much eliminates dropping in after office hours. 

 

Reciprocal members who plan ahead when wishing to use their facility

have been well received. This agreement with the CTC is verbal and subject to

change.  Their dress code requires a jacket (without tie is acceptable) in the main Dining Room for men, and the always mysterious "appropriate attire" for ladies. Their Lounge is a bit less formal with a restriction on denim, open collared shirts are acceptable. Parking is available in the building, however the CTC does not control the garage. If you park in the building, you pay as you leave. Expensive!

 

Ed, I wish I could say using our temporary home at the CTC is as informal and

welcoming as it was for Queen City members when we resided in the old College Club building.  When we acquire our new club  house we will look forward to once again greeting Queen City Members with open arms.
