The Coot Club is an environmental organisation started by Tom Dudgeon covering the Norfolk Broads and based in Horning. The Club also exists to have fun, but in BS has to turn its hand to crime-busting. The most important part of the club is the Bird Protection Society (BS1). The full title of the club is The Coot Club (commencing with 'The'). The Coot Club was written on a large card in big blue-pencilled letters hanging on the main wall in Tom Dudgeon's shed; Dot takes it down and writes Scotland Yard on the back in big letters using a pencil that Pete found for her (BS15).
