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.
