The records society collection was administered by the UCS and provided a borrowing service to students who wished to borrow vinyl LP's. This society eventually became defunct with the vinyl LP's eventually being left in an unused gyp room. In 2008 Anne Hughes, college librarian, sorted through the records and got record dealers in to sell them. The proceeds from these sales were then used to buy music CDs for the college library.
It is known that an unofficial student newsletter called 'Clarion' existed at Clare in 1964.
The Clare Association was founded in 1923 and remained independent for many years, arranging annual dinners, usually in London, and producing a regular alumni publication, the Clare Association Annual (CAA). The committee functions of the Association were absorbed by the College Development Office in the mid-2000s, when an Alumni Council was set up. The Council comprises representatives for each matriculation year tasked with liaising between the members of their year and the Development Office, and a Fellow of the College still acts as Secretary of the Association.
