LONDON CLARION CLUB HOUSE, LTD.--Registered office: 5, Vine Street, Romford. The outcome of the Romford C.C.C.'s Camp, first started on Coronation Day, 1911. So successful was the Camp that in order to escape the renewed searching for sites, the Sabbatarian rules and regulations of the English Sunday, and the smoke and turmoil of the Metropolis, the London cycling section decided at a meeting on September 15, 1912, to have a Club House of their own. Entered into possession of the present residence at Whitsun, 1913, and very soon established itself as the rallying point for the cyclists and the London Fellowship. The Club House is in the hamlet of Broadley Common, near Nazeing, Essex : about 17 miles from the G.P.O. Is situated amongst picturesque rural surroundings, and near to the famous Epping Forest, the open moorland of Nazeing Common, and the historical neighbourhood of Rye House, Waltham Abbey, Waltham Cross, Ware and Hertford. Extensive developments on the estate are contemplated, and all interested Clarionettes and Socialists can assist by taking up 2s. 6d. shares in the Society. General Secretary : Jack Hinton, 5, Vine Street, Romford.1
