G&DGC - The Club’s Trophies

i

How it all began

The Guildford and District Gun Club was founded in 1960 by a group of

gentlemen that worked on the Clandon Park Estate as the game keeper, his assistant, beaters and picker uppers and they were Cliff Sheldon the game keeper,

Bob Brewer the assistant game keeper, George Baverstock, Derek Carver, Ron

Small, Ken Tulley and Arthur Woodham a pest control officer.

These six men met in a private room at the Jovial Sailor in Ripley with Arthur

Woodham in the Chair, the club name was decided upon, the membership

subscription agreed and Derek Carver appointed as Treasurer.

Joining the club that year were Jeff Garland, Geoff Grafton, Dennis Kates, Dick Mumford and Geoff Seaman.

The shoots were held on the estate in an area known as the Chalk Pit at West

Clandon, until May 2001, and in those days the committee meetings were held in the

estate office in Clandon Park, but by 1962 the meetings and the Annual General meetings were being held at the White Hart Hotel in Ripley. The President of the club

was the Earl of Onslow and Vice Presidents were Sir Eric Bowater and Mr. Maddock,

the Chairman was Mr. George Baverstock, Secretary was Mr. Bob Brewer and

Treasurer Mr. Derek Carver.

It was at this meeting Mr. B. Reynolds donated a trophy to the club that was called the Penny Cup and it is still shot for every year in September and is presented to the

winner of ‘B’ class. Ron Small also offered to donate a cup to the club, and again it is

still used by the club and is presented to the winner of ‘A’ class in July.

Our heritage

From that point on more trophies have been donated, that now enable the club to

present a trophy for the winner of ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ class every month and many end of

year trophies for achievements, such as: ‘Sporting Top Gun’, ‘Best Veteran’, ‘Best

Lady’ and ‘Best Junior’; and many more.

I hope you all agree that this trophy book illustrates what a wealth of history our club has, locked away in our collection of trophies. For the first time, our trophy

heritage is on ‘display’ for all our members to view.
