Society bash: one in a suit? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

club

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue is a quadruple definition!!

'society' is the first definition.
(I know that society can be written as club)

'bash' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'one' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in a suit?' is the fourth definition.
(I've seen this before)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for club that I've seen before include "Eg, wood, brassie" , "Playing card; social organisation" , "Good meeting-place" , "Association; cudgel" , "Staff - association" .)
