Grid Iron Club, Oxford
The Gridiron Club of Oxford, England was founded in 1884.

The Grid Iron Club, popularly referred to as The Grid, is a club, only open to male students at the University of Oxford. In the past, most of its membership attended public schools, however this is no longer a criterion for membership, and its membership increasingly represents a diverse mixture of male Oxford undergraduates.

The club furnishes its members with the most conventional and traditional atmosphere of a London club, prior to their arrival upon the London scene.

The upstairs of No. 13 The High Street (built in 1773–4 by John Gwynn to form the frontage to the new covered market and were known as "New Parade".) was home to the Gridiron Club from 1890 to 1913 (when it moved to premises over the Midland Bank near Carfax). The Club rents premises at 8a Golden Cross, Oxford (in the attic of Pizza Express) for the use of its paying members to dine and drink at lunch or of an evening.

There are two other similar clubs in Cambridge, the sports-related, and the adventuring society, The Cambridge Explorers and The Pitt Club. Several other universities also have comparable establishments, including The 16' Club at St David's University College, the Kate Kennedy Club at the University of St. Andrews, the Porcellian Club at Harvard and the King Leopold or Playboy Clubs of University College, Durham. The Pitt Club maintains reciprocal relations with the Oxford and Cambridge Club and Oxford's Gridiron Club.

Historically the Club maintained very close ties to the Snuff Committee, the sole purpose of which was to take snuff and drink port. It is believed however that the latter became extinct in the 1970s.

The current president of the The Grid Iron Club is XXXXX. The other trustees are XXXX, XXXX and XXXXXXX. Old mebers have numbered Lord Michael Ancram and Lord Douglas Hogg, the Earl of Arran and Isaiah Berlin and Lord Michael Pratt the great social genealogist among its members. Recent notable members, Lord Frederick Windsor, William & Jake Astor, The Hon. Alexander Fellowes and Halid Bandar.
