The Cavern Club

The Cavern Club is a select association for the breeders of pedigree swamp dragons, and welcomes anyone as a potential member who can afford to invest in kennels, kennelmaids, and a breeding stock of recognised pedigree breeds. Lady Sybil Ramkin and Brenda Rodley are among its leading lights. A related organisation, mentioned once in Men at Arms, is the Friendly Flame-throwers' Association.

Loosely based on Roundworld Britain's Kennel Club, the organisation for people who are serious about pedigree dogs and all matters associated with them, which sponsors the seriously upmarket Crufts' annual dog show.
