Cartoonists Club of Great Britian (4)

If all of this has whetted your appetite for all things CCGB then they are still very much around and can be contacted here
http://ccgb.org.uk/wordpress/

I'll leave you with some scans of the history of the (drinking) escapades of the club which are recounted in this 150 page A5 volume from 1996. These stories go all the way back to the beginning of the club and highlights for instance, trips to Billy Butlin's holiday camps and much besides. Much fun.

At one point the Cartoon Museum in London has multiple copies of this for sale but they don't seem to have them any more. Good luck tracking it down!
