Split article
[edit]The Iwerne camps are extremely notable and extensively written-about, but currently rather oddly covered on Wikipedia. This is, I guess, the main article on them; but is actually the article for an organisation that didn't technically exist until 1997, and even its predecessor the Iwerne Trust was not actually responsible for running the holidays.
The most complete coverage of the holidays is on E. J. H. Nash, but that's also incomplete because obviously it doesn't cover the post-Nash period except very briefly. This means that some topics aren't covered in much detail, and some - like the Jonathan Fletcher abuse allegations - don't really have a home at all.
I'd suggest we need a new article called something like Iwerne camps or possibly Bash camps (or VPS camps/Varsity and Public Schools camps - which I believe was the formal name for most of their existence but seems to be much less well-known) for the holidays themselves, mostly populated from Nash's article, but also with most of the Smyth content from here and new content on the David Fletcher and post-David Fletcher period.

- In the absence of any dissent, I've started creating Iwerne camps. This is currently largely content dropped in from these two articles, but hopefully will develop into an independent and useful article as I go on editing and others come to contribute! TSP (talk) 15:38, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- I agree fully. Please see my suggestion below about a further split. SmilingFace (talk) 10:58, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Further split
[edit]I have an interest in this area and have just created an article on the Makin Review. I feel it would be much better if there were two separate articles, one for the Iwerne Trust and one for the Titus Trust. This will help people understand the history of this movement and the related organisations, which have obviously been the subject of considerable attention in recent years. I'll wait to see what others think before doing anything. SmilingFace (talk) 10:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
