The Owl Club of Cape Town has been many things to many men and women—host to a long succession of famous visitors; home of good fellowship, of music, of art, of literature, a refuge where those who move in solemn walks of life among us may forget for an evening now and then their necessary dignity and be just their natural selves; a shrine for plain food and good liquor in moderation.
Members are classified into one (or more) of five "faculties" which best describe their main interest, i.e: Art, Drama, Literature, Music and/or Science. The category might mirror a member's profession, though there are many members who have an interest in one or more of the Membership categories without engaging in it professionally.
The Owl Club is committed to sociability among its members. We are drawn from men and women with interests the fields of art, drama, literature, music, and science. We are an eclectic mix. The Club has met regularly in Cape Town since 1894. We meet on the third Tuesday of the month at the Kelvin Grove Club, Newlands.
