Drones Club

The Drones Club is a recurring fictional location in the stories of British humorist P. G. Wodehouse.

The Drones Club makes its final appearance as a setting in 1972's Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin.

A drone being a male bee that does no work of its own and lives off the labour of others, it aptly describes the late 1920s to early 1930s stereotype of rich, idle young men, though some of the club members have careers and even jobs.

About a dozen club members are major or secondary recurring characters in the Wodehouse stories.

Many of the Drones Club stories begin with these nondescript members talking about the latest exploits of Freddie Widgeon, Pongo Twistleton, Bingo Little, or another of their number.

At the Drones Club weekend in Le Touquet, France, were "about 87 members",[16] and not all of them crossed the Channel (such as Pongo Twistleton and Horace Pendlebury-Davenport).
