Leeds Fifty Club of the Society of Friends.
Biographical notes:
The Fifty Club was set up in 1925 at a social evening organised by Joe and Mary Wood. It was a social and literary society, along the lines of the old Leeds Friends Essay and Illustration Society. The committee organised a programme of talks and social events, held in members' homes during the months of October to March. After the outbreak of war in 1939, meetings were disrupted by black-out conditions; in late 1940, the club began to meet at Carlton Hill Meeting House, but this was abandoned after fears that it was too close to the city centre. The Club did not revive after the war.
