The RLS Club played a major part in the commemorative events surrounding the centenaries of Treasure Island in 1983, and A Child’s Garden of Verses in 1985, when a degree of controversy raged about the creation of a memorial to RLS, but which was eventually resolved in 1989 by the inauguration in West Princes Street Gardens of a memorial in the form of a coppice of birch trees around a stone column, and the endowment of the RLS Memorial Trust as a ‘living memorial’ — a continuing commitment in memory of RCS — to help children with respiratory diseases.
The RLS Club Committee has agreed to add fund-raising for the Trust to the Club's objectives and to consider applications for grant-funding from the Trust and to make proposals to the Trustees for awards.
