Lord Curton's Gentlemen's Hunting Club is an invitation-only society for members of the peerage who wish to exercise their divinely-granted right to hunt whatever game they wish, including the most dangerous game. Their numbers have never been large, but then that is the price one pays for exclusivity. Good day to you!

History

Originally formed by Mortimer Curton and some of his closest friends and associates, the Club has continued its existence through two world wars and numerous restrictions and limitations being placed upon the practice of hunting. Specifics as to membership and activities are vague, but the club was known to meet irregularly in Malton at Curton Mansion. After the outbreak in Malton and the subsequent disappearance of Aleister Curton, no club members were known to operate in the city until the re-emergence of Duke D'oeuvre and Lord Thistlewick in the vicinity of Lockettside.

Organisation

As there is no means of communication with the world outside Malton, and given the absence of a number of members, the current club organisation is as follows.
