“The Clubmen were an organised body and had set resolutions for what they saw as a solution to the war. We see reference to the great charter and The Petition of Right in the declaration. So, we see here a direct demand for a return to these basic rights now lost in a war not of their making. The Clubmen as an association, as this is what they were, had direction, just cause and spoke directly for those outside the warring armies. Those affected by war are making their voices heard. Not a call for a side to support but a demand from the generality for a solution to a war put upon those that would see fit to impose a war upon them.”
Haydn Wheeler

“Jaws would make a lasting impression on me and my friends. This imagination manifested itself into our playground games. We built our very own Orca. A large dose of childlike imagination, the vital ingredient here.

With buckets, watering can, old bits of corrugated iron, anything we could muster, the Orca took shape. A game invented, for downtime, between screenings of Jaws.”

“What historians need is not more documents, but stronger boots.”
R.H. Tawney

“We go too fast for our own understanding; by we of course I mean they, because I discover nothing that has not been already in print. We (they) discover without realising what will result; we take off lids with curiosity and relish, and things escape that we didn’t foresee. The plot develops, and the dénounement is withheld until the final curtain.”
Yvonne Mitchell, Martha on Sunday

“It is quite contrary to the prime intentions of our association, for instead of mediators we shall become parties, instead of making peace we shall in all possibility lengthen the war".”
Humphrey Willis
