The Record Books of the The Exeter & County Club. They are in 4 hand written volumes. There is the Cash Book, (1895 to 1899) The Minutes (1895 to 1938), Dividend Book (1921 to 1930) and the Visitors Book (1903 to 1941). Inside the Minutes Book there is a list of the past Mayors of Exeter from 1885 to 1935, there is a further list from the Secretary to the Mayor of Mayors who were members from 1936 to 1971. The club was situated was situated at Musgrave Hall, Exeter. The leather & gilt Cash Book and the leather & cloth Dividend book have the label of James Townsend & Sons who now are at Musgrave Hall themselves. The Minutes start Wednesday, September 18th 1895 at 5.30pm and state P.C.M. VEITCH Esq (in the chair), W.N. Pinder, & James Beal. The Minutes and the Dividend books each measure 33cm by 21cm; the Cash Book measures 26cm by 20cm, the Visitors Book measures 23cm by 20.5cm. List of Images: I have shown images of the pages of the 4 books I chose the opening page of the Minutes, for thether books I just picked a page at random, I noticed on the Dividend book page The Marquis of Salisbury. PLease don't hesitate to e-mail me if further images are needed. From the Cash Book and from reading the Minutes it seems that a lot of the expenses concerned billiards.
