Club Toast
The club had a famous round of six toasts:
- 6. The Queen's mother
- 5. Her (His) Majesty the Queen (King)
- 4. The Hambledon Club
- 3. Cricket
- 2. The Immortal Memory of Madge
- 1. The President.
The enigmatic "Madge" is a "what", not a "who". Indeed, it is believed to be a common, but crude, contemporary reference to the vagina.
