Take the club with tape wound round it (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accept

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

'take the club' is the definition.
'accept' can be an answer for 'take' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'the club' bit.

'tape wound round it' is the wordplay.
'wound' indicates anagramming the letters (wound can mean twisted or turned around).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'it' becomes 'cc' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tape' anagrammed gives 'aept'.
'aept' placed around 'cc' is 'ACCEPT'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accept that I've seen before include "Receive something offered" , "agree to buy" , "Receive voluntarily" , "Admit - gain" , "Acknowledge" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
