An
early ‘Training Class’ from around 1954 featuring Bill Hickmott,
George Williams, |

In
those early days, Jean Train (later Lumsden) won the Retriever Championships with ‘Cala’ and, because gundog work was all so new to the majority of members, this magnificent achievement was not fully appreciated. No Society can reach such a prominent position in the gundog world as the South Eastern Gundog Society without a lot of hard work by the various secretaries, treasurers and general committee members, including Tony Casserly, who seems to have been around for ever as trainer and committee man! |

Lastly,
I remember dogs. Was Eric Mackintosh’s super-going dog a Labrador or a Golden? This was never solved! Mr Bentley’s lovely dark Golden Retrievers; Jim Child’s ‘Flight’; Betty Simpson’s ‘Mascot’; Bill Hickmott’s ‘Stubblesdown’ Goldens; June Atkinson’s ‘Holways’ and many others, not forgetting the ‘Palgrave’ Labradors and Goldens and the one and only ‘Lacygreen Pillar of Wingfield’, who got me into the world of gundogs. Founder members are getting fewer. Whilst we cannot expect to be around in another 50 years time, we trust that what we helped start will still be going strong. |
