Article here. Excerpt:

'Debbie Wosskow, who sold travel company Love Home Swap for $53 million (£39 million), and former Hearst chief Anna Jones launched The AllBright in Fitzrovia in March. Founder members include the entrepreneur Baroness Lane-Fox and actresses Ruth Wilson and Naomie Harris.

Wosskow and Jones aim to equip Londoners with “the necessary capital, skills, connections and confidence female leaders need to thrive”. Men are allowed into the £900-a-year club as guests and it already has 800 members and a waiting list.

Wosskow today revealed that an AllBright Mayfair is set to open in Maddox Street in early 2019 — the first in a series of openings planned across London over the next two years.'

Members' Handook, Appendix D: Rules for Male Guests and Visitors

1. Men must be escorted at all times. Each member bringing a male must remain within ten feet of him at all times, excepting visits to the bar or rest room
2. Leashes for managing male guests are optional but permitted.
3. Male guests are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages because, well, you know, they get all handsy after a few drinks.
4. Each member is responsible for the actions of her male. Specifically she must stop immediately any behavior objectionable to other members. These include but are not limited to actual or perceived "mansplaining", disagreement with members on any topic, or "manspreading".
5. Giving head to men in the janotorial closet after you've tossed back a couple cosmos just to get your freak on is specifically prohibited unless he takes pictures which you then share with the membership.

Etc.
