  • Y410012 Memoirs of Charles Allen Copy 2
    Y410012 MEMOIRS of CHARLES ALLEN Memoirs of Charles Allen, regional secretary of the Youth Hostels Association, Devon and Cornwall Regional Group, for the period of 33 years, 1933-1965. Gifted to the YHA Archive by Roger Gaffney and transcribed by the YHA Archivist, August 2017 Note: these invaluable memoirs do throw up some discrepancies with dates. Where Allen’s dates differ from the archivist’s and others’ research, editorial alternatives are included in square brackets. Other additions are also included thus. Minor corrections of spelling and punctuation have been made without notification. The work seems to have been finished in 1977, as a spiral-bound typescript of 65 pages. There are a couple of afternotes into the 1980s. It is not known how widespread the issue was – only the single example in the YHA Archive has been seen to date. The thirty-three years work for the YHA D and C Region gave me a life full of interest and drive in the work of setting up of Youth Hostels in the West Country. I hope that my story relating in many cases to the humorous side of a secretary’s work will be of interest as to the pioneering days of YHA in the West Country. My comment on Hostels and in some cases the wardens of particular hostels will relate if the rotation as to the year in which the hostel was established. I realise that my work as secretary would not have succeeded without the help and expertise of a number of people who I will list hereunder, and to all of whom I tender a sincere THANK YOU.
