The Northern Magic Circle was formed on the 15th April 1956 when seven interested people met, by mutual consent, at the Scotch Corner Hotel near Catterick, in Yorkshire, U.K. and discussed the need, or otherwise, of a magical society. After lengthy discussion it was felt that such a need did exist and so the Northern Magic Circle was born.
Members present at that time were:-
Frank Baumforth, Derbyshire (*)
George Blake, Yorkshire (*)
Benny Hindmarsh, Co. Durham
Bob Lawrence, Yorkshire (*)
Frank Richmond, Co. Durham (*)
John Scott, Northumberland (*)
Tommy Scott, Co. Durham.
