The Notion Club was a literary discussion group based in Oxford.

In 2012, Howard Green, a School Clerk, found a disordered bundle of papers on the top of one of a number of sacks of waste paper in the basement of the Examination Schools at Oxford. They were loosely tied with a red string and on the outer sheet was inscribed in large Lombardic capitals: NOTION CLUB PAPERS. Later, it was discovered that the papers reported approximately one hundred meetings of a certain discussion group. The meetings took place between c. 1980 and 1990, and Lowdham was one of its members.

During those meetings, many of the members reported having strange dreams, in which it seemed to them that they travelled through space or time. During a meeting that took place on 12 June, 1987, labeled Night 67, a great storm hit England, and strange clouds in the shapes of eagles hovered above Oxford. After that night, Alwin Arundel Lowdham and Wilfrid Trewin Jeremy, went missing and were only later heard from by a letter where it was found that they were on a journey across the country. and returned to Oxford just one day before the next meeting, which took place on 25 September, 1987.
