Universal Science Circle

The Universal Science Circle was a fan group in Liverpool in the early 1930s and the second fan group in the UK. Its president was Colin H. Askham and its secretary was Leslie J. Johnson and there were about half-a-dozen members.

In common with many early groups, it was primarily for science enthusiasts. Its stated aim was 'to facilitate the distribution and use of modern scientific knowledge in all its branches – truly a worthy and magnificent object for any club!'

It's unclear when the group was founded but it can have been no earlier than very late-1930. Johnson's autobiography implies the group disbanded in 1932 'due to lack of enthusiasm'.

Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc. When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can!
