Accommodation for the European Theosophical Congress was at a premium in Cardiff in 1941 and it was essential to book well in advance. Turning up and expecting to find a room on spec was just not an option and the booking form below was sent out by Elizabeth Claudia-Owen to Congress Delegates about four months in advance. A few Theosophists were able to put delegates up at their homes, but as the form says, this was very limited.

 

It is noted that there were no guest houses in Cardiff offering vegetarian meals and it it is interesting to note that there were some guest houses offering a vegetarian alternative when Charles James came to compile his Vegetarian Eating out List in 1955.
