The theme of this month's meeting was a seasonal one. here is a photograph of some Christmas Club tokens. people would pay a few pence a week to save up for Christmas. Between the wars and later most people did not have bank accounts and this was the only way of saving. however the customer could only buy goods from the shop and they sometimes charged a fee and there were penalties for leaving the scheme early. They were popular in the USA and this country.

Have a cheerful collecting Christmas
