The Gorilla Lounge takes place from the early evening in the library area of a bar in Soho. This is an event that suits people who find it difficult to get free for an extended lunch or who have an evening to while away in pleasant conversation. You pay for your own food and drink and there is a good selection of alcohol-free.

The Gorilla Lunch is an extended lunch in a private dining room which allows members to spend some time meeting other members over decent food and wine. Members working in a relaxed office environment or with children often opt for these occasions. Size restricted to 6 to 10 members to assist the flow of ideas.

Members outside of London should apply to join the Blackback programme so as to introduce their own social events to the Gorilla Club webwide community. The Blackback is younger and challenges the authority of the Silverback, hoping to replace him one day maybe (in TGC, Blackbacks are female as well as male and of all ages).
To qualify:
BB1. Your event should respect without reserve all the rules, values and benefits of TGC: you may then append Gorilla to the front of your event (The Gorilla Club™ is a protected trademark). TGC stickers and electronic logo are available for free usage.
BB2. An invitation to attend should always be issued to the Silverback as a matter of courtesy and details of your event posted on our site or online groups.
BB3. You may not make a profit from any TGC event so organised.
BB4. Please encourage all participants to visit this site and/or our online groups. You are free from your event to propose any new members you feel would benefit TGC. The Silverback retains the sole authority to confirm membership of The Gorilla Club™.
And so our hope is that one day, as we travel from city to city, we shall thus encounter kindred spirits at a local Gorilla Club™ event, organised along simple Gorilla Club™ values, that will open us all up to yet more communities of ideas.

After a few years organising Gorilla events, 1530 or 3.30 pm has emerged as the Gorilla Hour(TM). A most challenging time for all apprentice Gorillas - too late to go back to work, too early to leave for a Gorilla event...

Kindly on loan from one of our Blackbacks, the Lost Afternoon is that most advanced of Gorilla events beginning at the Gorilla Hour and lasting into the early evening. Not many Gorillas have managed this one so far - give it a whirl?

Ideal for snap encounters, why not indulge yourself and friends in a Gorilla Moment, a delicious pause in the day. Lasting some ten or twenty minutes Gorilla Moments take place under TGC values of conviviality, tolerance and good listening and avoid any outcome. Text a friend and meet in the airport lounge or local caff, it's that easy.

This was a fantastic series of Gorilla Lunches attended by over 40 members during the autumn of 2005. These set the tone for all subsequent lunches - convivial and tolerant occasions where everyone came to listen.

2006 ended with what some members found the best event yet - a Wine-tasting without a Wine-taster and a Book evening without Books! Over fine wines and food members enjoyed interesting conversation which was often quite revealing.

With just three of us around the table you might think there was just not enough to talk about. Not so - and we did not even get to that question - And what do you do ? The many pleasures were completed when a third member who just happened to be in the environs joined us for coffee !
