Arthur Ransome Club

The Arthur Ransome Club (アーサー・ランサム・クラブ, Āsā Ransamu Kurabu) (ARC) was founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1987. It is believed to be the first organization dedicated to promoting and celebrating the works of Arthur Ransome. Its members refer to themselves as "Ransomites" ("Ransamaito").
