savage club

I have to say that moving to a country of the British Empire has opened my eyes to many things that were not a part of American culture. 
One of the many things that I've notice here and there are signs for 'Savage Club'--mostly on repurposed churches or houses. Hubby recently pointed out one in a nearby town and I finally got around to checking them out. The truth about the Savage Club came as quite a surprise--although, I really didn't know what to expect.

It seems that there are many mild, artistic souls that wanted a place to gather for fellowship and support that started in the mid 1800's. You can click here for more information and history.

    That was a trip down memory lane for me. My Dad belonged to the Tauranga/Mount Maunganui Orphans club for many years, they had a singing group who used to entertain at the local seniors homes, they used to do sketches and singing on their Saturday night gatherings.

    I have to say that this is the first time I have heard of these clubs, perhaps because my family has never been associated with them or maybe there just were not any around where I grew up. They sound like a good idea.

    It's a long time since I have heard of a Savage Club - my dad was in the local Orphan's Club, and they often visited Savage Clubs, or had them visiting us... we used to billet them overnight if they came from a longer distance... oh the memories - thank you!
