Description: | Book recording the meetings of the Walsall District Past Captains' Society. A meeting in October 1919 elected James Darke Rattenbury as President, Samuel Longmore as Treasurer and Harold Taylor as Secretary. The Society appears to have met monthly and the Management Committee meeting reports are interspersed. The monthly meetings typically featured debates and talks ranging from 'Labour and Reconstruction' and 'Culture of Carnations'. The Society appears to have arranged charabanc outings, an annual vegetable show, and whist drives. Accounts are included in the reports. The final meeting was held in July 1923 and any invested money and cash in hand was divided equally amongst financial members and invested on their behalf with the Caledonian Corks Social Club at 6% interest. Included in the book are a photograph of Harold Taylor of Folly House Lane in the regalia of Society, dated 18 July 1922 and a form of application to join the Society. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Archives / Local History Centre | Rights holder: | Walsall District Past Captains' Society | Subjects: | Friendly societies | Temporal: | 1919 - 1923 | Source: | Black Country History | Creator: | Walsall District Past Captains' Society | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
