Halcyon Circle

Does anyone know anything about an organisation called The Halcyon Circle? It is mentioned a few times in the South China Morning Post, first mention in 1940 and last in 1949. It seems to have been a group of women of different ethnicities who met at each other's homes - for what prupose I don't know. Lady Northcote, the Governor's wife, attended one meeting.

May refer to the Halcyon Club which came under the umbrella of the Y.W. C. A.. Further information of its functions appear here

Thanks, Moddsey.

I think this is the same organisation. I searched 'Halcyon Club' in the SCMP and it seems the organisation was already in existence in 1931 although the only indication of its nature is in the article you link to.
