The Universal Science Circle was a fan group in Liverpool in the early 1930s. It was the second UK fan group. There were about half-a-dozen members. President was Colin H. Askham and secretary was Leslie J. Johnson.
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!’
Johnson's autobiography implies the group disbanded in 1932 'due to lack of enthusiasm'.

| This is a club page. 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! |
