Sheffield Clarion Ramblers

The Sheffield Clarion Ramblers was a rambling club founded by G. H. B. Ward in Sheffield in 1900. It was one of many clubs and societies inspired by the popular socialist newspaper, The Clarion. Its first ramble was in the Peak District around Edale on Sunday, 2 September, 1900 with fourteen people from Sheffield.[1] Its membership peaked at around two hundred in the post-war era of the 1940s but then dwindled to just eight when it disbanded in 2015.[2]
