Despite 1880's closure, private members' club 67 Pall Mall is expanding
[SINGAPORE] Private members' club 1880 may have suddenly closed and gone into liquidation this week, but that is no dampener for another player here. 67 Pall Mall, which started operating in Singapore from 2022, has just signed a lease to expand to Shanghai – its first Chinese outpost. The private members' club with a focus on fine wine will open next year at 7 Donghu Road, in Shanghai's historic Xuhui district. It will occupy the 100-year-old French Renaissance-style Grand Mansion – or da gongguan – built by British businessman Raymond Joseph. Grant Ashton, who founded 67 Pall Mall in London in 2015, said that opening a club in Shanghai allows it to connect with the wine community in China, which 'has long been one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing wine markets in the world'. On entering the country despite its economic woes, Ashton said the club's business model offering access to 'one of the largest lists of wines in the region at reasonable prices' has withstood economic ebbs and flows, including extended closures during the pandemic. 'Our proposition is new to the market in Shanghai and China – one that represents unprecedented value and access to fine wines.' He is not concerned about the sudden collapse of 1880 either. The club had also abruptly closed its Hong Kong branch on May 30. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself.

'We are a very different club with a singular focus, and everything about 67 Pall Mall revolves around the appreciation of wine.' In Singapore, the club occupies 15,000 square feet (sq ft) across the 27th and 28th floors of Shaw Centre in Scotts Road. The space used to be the penthouse dwelling of the late movie magnate Runme Shaw, where he threw extravagant soirees and wined and dined luminaries and celebrities.

The mansion's grandeur will be showcased and it will include spaces such as a Grand Salon, a sunroom overlooking the gardens, a whisky bar and multiple private rooms. The Grand Mansion is a former diplomatic landmark that has housed various bureaus and served as the residence of some of China's prominent magnates, including industrialist and banker Sheng Zhushu. It has also hosted several high-profile events, including negotiations between former US president Richard Nixon and former Chinese premier Zhou Enlai, as well as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China in 2001 attended by then US president George W Bush.

Summoning golden Olympic memories, Paris parties like it's still 2024
[PARIS] Parisians had such unexpected fun at their Olympics last summer, that they are holding a public anniversary celebration to recapture the party mood, but not everyone is quite as enthusiastic. The Olympic rings will be projected on the Eiffel Tower and there will be a giant Olympic karaoke in front of the town hall on July 26. However, preceding that party, the glowing cauldron balloon – 'a symbol of the popular enthusiasm for these Olympic Games', according to France's National Olympic Committee – returns on Saturday (Jun 21). It will float once again above the Tuileries Garden, with French President Emmanuel Macron in attendance, to conjure golden memories, even for those who were not there. 'There are many Parisians who fled Paris last year and who kicked themselves,' said Matthieu Gobbi of Aerophile, the company responsible for the balloon. Yet, athletes and grassroots sports organisations in France lament the lack of a more tangible 'legacy'. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up For those who were there, and the five billion the International Olympic Committee claims watched around the world, the Games provided 15 days of candy-coloured distraction from wars, divisive elections and global inflation. The sport was also spectacular, illuminated by the redemption of American gymnast Simone Biles, a likely final Roland-Garros triumph for the then 37-year-old tennis star Novak Djokovic, and the swimming heroics of French golden boy Leon Marchand. The sport at the Paris Olympics last year was spectacular, illuminated by feats that included the swimming heroics of French golden boy Leon Marchand. PHOTO: AFP An unusually high proportion of the Olympics was held in the the middle of the city, and that posed a challenge. There were fears of terrorist attacks, that public transport would not cope and the Seine would be too polluted for triathletes and long-distance swimmers to compete. Paris still pulled it off, enhancing its image, not least in France, as the world's leading tourist destination. 'We will see who can repeat a Games like this,' said Macron. 'Joy, unity, pride' This summer, Parisians will be able to swim at three venues along the Seine. The Tour de France, rerouted to avoid the capital last year, returns for its traditional finish on the Champs-Elysees at the end of a stage that covers many of the same streets where 500,000 spectators watched the Olympic road races. That stage will be on July 27, a year and a day after the Paris Games opened with an epic and grandiose ceremony, put on by a cast of 20,000 artists and staff, along the Seine. Celine Dion sang from the Eiffel Tower while the athletes sailed down the river in the pouring rain. 'This moment is a memory we share. It's not so common these days,' said Thomas Jolly, the artistic director for the opening and closing ceremonies. 'Having everyone watching the same thing at the same time surely creates a bond!' The ceremony left a lasting mark, he said, 'of joy, unity, pride'. The Games themselves even made a profit, a surplus of 76 million euros (S$112.5 million).That figure does not yet include broader public spending, particularly on infrastructure, and it is here that some in France feel the Olympics has left a slightly bitter taste. For Olympic organisers, the word 'legacy' – both tangible and intangible – helps legitimise hosting an event that many countries no longer want. 'We are trying to give the Olympics a role they weren't made for,' said Mickael Attali, a sports historian at Rennes II University. 'Good memories' and 'a good image of France' remain. 'Materially, there are still some things left in Seine-Saint-Denis,' said Attali, referring to the poorest departement in mainland France where the Olympic Aquatic Centre, opposite the Stade de France, has just opened to the public. Macron had promised the Olympics would help turn France into a sporting nation. The number of people registered to sports clubs has increased by 5 per cent, but thousands of enthusiastic children were turned away last autumn because of a lack of space. After the Games ended, national and local sports budgets were cut. Sports officials say that infrastructure projects have been halted and expenditure on equipment slashed. Some French athletes were abandoned by commercial sponsors. 'All the companies that had set up sponsorship for the Olympics have left,' said a specialist in sports marketing who did not wish to be named. Even some of France's Olympic stars feel the lustre has faded fast. 'We should not have said there would be a legacy,' said Olympic fencing champion Manon Apithy-Brunet. AFP
