From small beginnings, the CTL has opened up membership far beyond the limits of London, and even further afield than the rest of the United Kingdom. We currently have over 300 members mostly in the Uk, but also in
other European countries, North America, Central and South America, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Australia and New Zealand.

Members also meet up at ferias, but this is all very casual, although CTL lunches during major ferias in Spain are becoming increasingly popular. We do not make package travel arrangements, because experience has shown that members prefer to go their own way. Members are usually happy to exchange and give advice about travel and accommodation at most ferias. 

In November 2018 the CTL welcomed Victorino Martin Garcia  as CTL guest of hobour and Alvaro Lorenzo as the special guest. 2017 Guest of honour was Curro Diaz. In 2016, we were honoured with the presence of Juan Jose Padilla, the year before we counted with Antonio Ferrera, in 2014 Miguel Angel Perera and in 2013 our guest was Javier Castaño; in years before, our guests have included – in roughly descending chronological order: Iván Fandiño, Vicente Barrera, Juan Mora, José Pedro Prados Martín "El Fundi", Miguel Abellán and Victorino Martín García, Jesús Janeiro "Jesulín de Ubrique", Salvador Cortés, Matías Tejela, David Fandila "El Fandi", Antonio Barrera, Julián López "El Juli", Cesar Rincón, Luis Miguel Encabo, Francisco Rivera Ordoñez, Paco Camino, José Pacheco "El Califa", José Tomás, Victorino Martín and Victor Mendes, Julio Robles, Manuel Caballero, José Miguel Arroyo "Joselito", José Luis Bote, and Luis Francisco Esplá. Another frequent visitor is British matador and CTL member, Frank Evans. 

 The Club has an extensive video and DVD library which makes available reference copies of VHS cassettes and DVDs of taurine subjects for members.

The CTL also publishes books from time to time, latest publications can be found following this link

In February 1999, we held a special lunch to celebrate our 40th year and were joined by Enrique Ponce, who received a special commemorative award, the George Erik Trophy.

In February 2000, we invited the ganadero Antonio Miura and the matador Ruiz Miguel to receive another George Erik trophy on behalf of the house of Miura. A similar trophy has also been awarded to the ganadería of Victorino Martín.

We organise a lunch during Madrid’s feria of San Isidro and have organised homenajes to Antonio Chenel "Antoñete", the Bienvenida dynasty, Julián López "El Juli", César Jiménez, Sebastián Castella and Fernando Domecq of the Zalduendo ganadería. In 2009, being our 50th anniversary year, we held a special celebration lunch at the Hotel Wellington, attended by the British Ambassador in Madrid, and by our honorary vice-presidents, among other worthies of the taurine world. Since then guests have included Jaime Ostos, El Viti, Ricardo Gallardo, Joselito, Antonio Ferrera and Victorino Martín. 2017 guest included  Luis David Adame and Victorino Martin Garcia.
