Fr John Clayton's name first appeared on the membership list in 1958 - 59. An article in the club history published in 1999 staates that he was a friend of the Club ever since as a curate at Bunhill Row he was a member of the Club.

He sometimes chaired the AGM.

After he became a Parish Priest the club often held a Summer or Christmas square dance at his Croxley Green Parish.

The Spring 1959 Club Magazine reported him as being the only one that responded to the request for suggestions for a name for the Magazine. He suggested "The Clodhopper" but this was not taken up!!

He was often called upon to propose the toast to the Club at the Annual Dinner and Dance. He concelebrated the Club's Golden Jubilee Mass in 1980.

He died in 1992. R.I.P
