Where the Material Came From

Most of what is on this site was published once somewhere else, then lost when the platform went. Here is each place it came from, how much came back, and where it lives now.

What each one gave the meeting pages

The WeChat official account filled 2015 to 2019, which had no record anywhere else. It built 219 meeting pages from nothing and added awards or a write-up to 46 more.

The Google Group’s agendas say who ran each evening and what was spoken about, for about sixty meetings between 2012 and 2015.

The members’ WeChat group carries the agenda for most meetings since 2020. It is the main source for recent weeks, together with photographs and the awards announced afterwards.

The first website names the founder, the first president and the first room, in Luohu.

Still missing

Nothing has been found for April 2009 to August 2012, three and a half years. If you have anything from those years (an agenda, a photograph, an email), the club would like to see it.
