If the club can't supply for whatever reason Mike, they're 99.9% likely to be BSF thread.
If you're lucky your local engineering consumables supplier might have some he wants to get rid of at a nominal price

Hi all, after many trials and tribulations, I can now say that as far as the 1938 Cambridge is concerned the grease nipples are 5/16 BSF. Mike
