February
1951
A lot happened in that year
card room players were required to provide their own coal A wine committee was formed
Col. Sotheby provided a small library of books. Colonel Sotheby :-
(Deputy vice Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire )
was of the earliest benefactors to Mousehole Legion, and an early photo ( provided by Mike Buttery ) showed him with Duchess, one of his horses.
Though the colonel presented the books, members were asked to construct a bookcase to hold them.
Whether this was ever made is not recorded in the minutes but 12 months later -” a magnificent mahogany bookcase was received as a gift”.
By then Colonel Sotheby had been appointed President .....Could he have provided that magnificent bookcase? And what happened to it eventually?
