Less well known than the more celebrated Kit Kat Club, with whom they shared many beliefs and members, the group was arguably more important and powerful in pushing for the Hanoverian Succession and proved invaluable to George following the death of Queen Anne in 1714, and the year of turmoil that followed. Future Whig Prime Minister the Duke of Newcastle was a member of the club.
