THE GENTLEMAN'S CLUBGentlemen know that great things always come in threes. So we, at William & Emerson, have created the Gentleman’s Club, combining three of our finest MANDLES – Leather, Tobacco and Whiskey. We know it's not just one thing that makes a gentleMAN, it’s MANy. We always hold the door open for the ladies, it’s the only way to see both the front and the back. Our drinks come in two types 12 year old and 18 year old. Our interior decorating ideas always include mahogany, leather and antlers. And we only smoke in a suitable jacket with unsuitable friends. Our rules are simple, but ever so gentleMANly.

Can Anyone Learn to Draw?Anyone can learn to draw. Children under ten are usually contented with their beautiful, colourful symbol drawings and paintings (as we all are!) and are probably best left to pursue those in their own way.
