Catch-my-Pal, alternatively known as the 'Protestant Total-Abstinence Union', was an anti-alcohol organisation founded on 13 July 1909 in Armagh, Ireland. The organisation closed down in January 1970 when its last club stopped operations. Its distinctive feature was that members would competitively persuade one of their friends to come with them and take 'the pledge' at each meeting. This 'Catch-my-Pal' method - the phrase was coined by its founder, Rev. Robert Patterson - was later used to recruit the 'Pals' Battalions to the British Army in the Great War. rdf:langString
