Clubs for the Professions
Sim,—The problem posed by your correspondent Mrs. J. Lindsay can be solved in this, and to the best of my knowledge, many other towns, through enquiries to the local Education Committee. Here, for instance, comprehensive lists of social and other organisations are kept by the Youth Committee and Technical College, while the Central Council for Physical Recreation maintain a separate list of
sporting organisations. --
The majority of these organisations make a point of welcoming newcomers to the area and helping them to feel at home in the town. This is perhaps more valuable than any attempt to organise a purely social club which would, in fact, segregate such newcomers from the community as a whole.—Yours faithfully, W. A. HAYENS. Youth Service Officer, Reading Education Committee. Loyd House, 177 King's Road, Reading.
