BECTIVE  CLUB  CHARTER

Our Vision

A Club where everyone is welcome and the highs and lows are shared.

Where history is never forgotten, but the eye is to the future.

This is an extract from a publication of University College Dublin.

Vae Victis was written in 1933.

Brian O’Nolan wrote under the pen names of Flann O’Brien and Myles na Gopaleen. He was born in 1911 in County Tyrone. A resident of Dublin, he graduated from University College after a brilliant career as a student (editing a magazine called Blather), and joined the Civil Service, in which he eventually attained a senior position. He died in Dublin on 1 April 1966. His novels included At Swim-Two-Birds, The Dalkey Archive, The Third Policeman, The Hard Life and The Poor Mouth (originally published in Irish as An Béal Bocht).
