My mother, who was born in Chepstow, used to tell me that when girls outgrew Sunday School they either joined the Girl Guides or Band of Hope. She chose the latter...until her father found out and stopped her, as he said it was bad for business. He was the landlord of the Boat Inn on the riverbank (still trading today, I believe)! She was Church of England.

Dear Listers,
I've had still more replies so now I know that girls as well as boys signed the pledge and there was a knowledge and examination to make sure you were aware of the issues. I've also learnt that the Hopeuk continue the work in a wider context looking at todays addictions. Churches do seem to have lead the way in the UK and Ireland, including the Catholic church.
I wonder if there were examinations if there are still registers that show members in particular areas.
Thanks for all the replies,
Mary

At Barry Police-court on Friday Mr J.B. PRICE-HUGHES, solicitor, appearing for Catherine LEWIS, applied for a separation order against her husband, James W. LEWIS, on the ground of persistant cruelty. He requested that all women be asked to leave the court on account of the nature of the evidence. Mr PRICE-HUGHES said he understood that the husband was prepared to live with his wife, whereupon applicant burst out, " I will not live with him again: I refuse to even consider the question." Applicant said her husband who lived at 51, Station-street, Barry Dock, was a platelayer employed by the Great Western Railway Company. They were married on February 9, 1918, at St. Militis Church , Hanwell, London, and there was one child of the marriage. Prior to their marriage, defendant was in the Army, while applicant was a tram conductress in London. By the conduct of her husband for some time past she had been compelled to leave him twice, and she would not, on
any account, live with him again. Her health had been impaired, and when she refused to accede to his repeated requests, he struck her violently, and on one occaision threatened to strangle her. On another occaision he threatened to hang her on a bed-post, and would do the same to himself. He went so far as to procure a rope. Her body, arms, and face were black and blue from his violent behaviour, and she was at present under medical treatment. In the witness-box defendant , who denied the charges of brutality, drukeness, and threats, said the whole of the trouble was caused by his wife's family. " If her parents would not interfere with us we would manage well together," added defendant. A separation order of 20s. a week for his wife and child's maintenance was granted.

Many thanks to Robert, Hugh and Joss who replied.It seems it wasn't unusual to sign or be asked to sign at an early age. In my father-in-law's case he refused, which suggests maybe he was at least a teenager. As the baptists waited for maturity to baptise members maybe they also thought such a commitment demanded some understanding.
A very interesting window onto a part of history. With binge drinking etc. maybe only a matter of time before it comes around again.
Many thanks,

Things do seem to go in cycles don't they. I've just been reading on
an Ireland list that it's only recently that the level of alcohol
consumption in Ireland has gone above that of other European
countries. Though this is usually considered a Protestant issue (note
here the mentions of the Methodists and Baptists), for many years,
the Catholic church in Ireland discouraged drinking, and there were
many teetotallers in Ireland, largely due to the church's influence.
Maybe not all of what we consider "modern" is really forward progress?
