This might be a double definition.

'attend' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with perception as well as being verbs in their base form.

'club' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beat that I've seen before include "Police officer's allocated area to be patrolled" , "Throb; surpass" , "Defeat; pulsate" , "Tan" , "Do better than another in competition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
