Don't think I've read this Secret Seven short story for a while, and I can't remember How To Run A Club at all!

It's a good job the Secret Seven aren't in the middle of an adventure right now. Thanks to social distancing, meetings in the shed would be out of the question.

Lets not talk of social distancing, wearing masks etc
Lets take ourselves back in time to the happy, glorious days of the Secret seven.How to run a club is a short story by itself in Enid Blyton's Happy Day Stories

Yes John, quite right.
Talking of social distancing, Peter's shed would obviously be out of the question being so small.
Social distancing could be observed if Peter's father allowed the Secret Seven to meet in one of the farm's large barns.
Then all the social distancing rules could have been observed, and the Secret Seven could still meet and discuss all their plans.

I'm sure Fatty and The Find Outers could have met in safe ways that followed all the most important and neccesary social distancing rules too.

They could have sat outside the dairy for their coffee and umpteen buns / cakes / macaroons. :lol:
