*************
...
At the end of 1912, Leonard announced that he was stepping down from the CHA to found a new organisation, the Holiday Fellowship (HF), partly because he disapproved of the CHA General Committee approach that encouraged more middle class rather than working class clients to stay in the centres,[3] and partly because he wanted to develop the international relations side of the organisation. He wrote that "I have been conscious for some time that an important section of the Committee have lacked confidence in my judgement upon certain matters...".[2]
The HF took over some of the CHA's centres, and established its headquarters at Bryn Corach near Conwy. He remained General Secretary of the Holiday Fellowship until 1925, when it moved its head office to London, but remained as its International Secretary until 1930 and thereafter became its President in 1938. By 1947, the HF had grown to operate some 30 centres with over 45,000 guests; at the same time, the CHA ran some 25 centres with 30,000 guests.[1] Leonard continually pushed for the organisation to promote more basic rather than luxurious accommodation.[2]
