Founded in 1969
The Alliance of Literary Societies (ALS) is the umbrella organisation for literary societies and groups in the UK. The Lewis Carroll Society is a member. The ALS was formed in 1973 and currently has around 125 societies representing more than 50,000 readers
Below is a link to download the latest issue of the ALS journal, in which there is an article by our Chair, Steve Folan, on "The Worlds of Charles Dodgson and Lewis Carroll".
Members are invited to attend the Society’s virtual AGM 2024 to receive the annual reports for the past year and to elect Officers and Committee Members for the year ahead.
Please Note: As only paid-up members can vote at the meeting it is essential for members to register to attend and (this is important) to receive the necessary Zoom link for the event. Do this by emailing the Secretary, in advance, at
secretary@lewiscarrollsociety.org.uk
Anyone wishing to stand for election to the Committee, including the posts of Chair,
Secretary and Treasurer, are also invited to contact the Secretary (on the same address) to
express an interest before the meeting. It has been an exciting and productive year but, going
forward, new ideas and energy are needed to sustain the momentum. So, if you think you
have something to offer, please let us know.
Brian Sibley leads an expedition in search of the frabjous story of how a Stanza of so-called Anglo-Saxon Poetry, a Monster from the Tulgey Wood and a Beamish Boy with a Vorpal Blade helped ‘Jabberwocky’ become Lewis Carroll’s most celebrated poem. There will be ‘pictures and conversations’; but BEWARE! there may also be some whiffling and burbling!
Non-members wishing to attend should register in advance to receive the Zoom link (secretary@lewiscarrollsociety.org.uk)
