Antique Cambridge Scouts Rowing Oar, 1925
Located in Oxfordshire, GB
Cambridge Scouts 1st Boat Presentation Rowing Oar.
The full-length oar is an original traditional presentation rowing oar with gilt calligraphy, the crew's names and weights and the Scouts emblem. The Cambridge Scout Boat Club was formed in 1923 and was successful from the start, they were Head of the River on three occasions.
The blade reads:-
Cambridge Scouts 1st Boat 1925.
Bow. E.C. Faircliff, 9.8.
2. E.G. Collins. 10.0.
3. G.E.P. Elwood. 9.8.
4. R. Middleton. 10.11.
5. G.C. Pinney. 9.12.
6. H.L. Gittus. 10.11.
7. S.A. Elwood. 10.7.
Str. A.W. Sirett. 9.13.
Cox. P.H.W. German. 7.0.
Coaches A.B. Stephen, J.A. Pocock.
Bumped:- Town II, Old Choristers II, Y.M.C.A I, Old Choristers I.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SHIPPING.
As the oar is full length (12 foot) shipping can be quite expensive. We have come up with an ingenious way to cut the oar so as to make shipping cheaper, the oar can then be easily reassembled. One of the images shows different images of an oar that has been cut down. It is cut by the leather sleeve so the joint is less visible or obvious. The oar can then be bolted together to make the oar one solid piece.
Please do enquire about the different shipping options.
The Cambridge Scout Boat Club was formed in 1923 on CC Charlie Wood's advice. It was thought to be the only such club in the country. C T Wood had rowed at Shrewsbury School and was treasurer for '99 rowing club in its early days.
'There are three particular things we owe to C.T.Wood;… in 1923 he urged the formation of the Scout Boat Club, of which Fred Feary was the first Captain, and I a humble non-rowing member'. WTT Archaeology 1978
The club was for Scout Masters, Scouts and Rovers over 16.
The club was successful from the start and the first boat sat in the top three for a quarter of time it raced and the top five for half the time. Scouts I reached 3rd position by the end of their fourth years racing and was only out if the top 5 for one year in the next quarter of a century.
In some years it put out four boats in the town bumps and four in the Time Race, the only two events for which we have most of the results It was Head of the River on three occasions.
Scouts I had the rare distinction of starting from last boat and reaching Head of the River in the town bumps without being bumped.
The Scouts' Debut

Golf Oil Painting of Dr. William Laidlaw Purves by Hon. John Collier
By John Collier
Located in Oxfordshire, GB
Impressive modern Golf Portrait, William Laidlaw Purves.
Large oil on canvas of Dr. William Laidlaw Purves after the original oil painting by the Hon. John Collier (1850 - 1934), a prominent London artist. The painting is un-framed but is stretched and ready to hang, artist of this particular painting is unknown. The original painting now hangs at Royal St. George's, Sandwich. William Laidlaw Purves, oculist and obsessive golfer, was an Edinburgh born surgeon who worked in London, but remembered by most for his contributions to the golfing world. A very influential man, he was one of the key figures behind the spread of the game of golf in England towards the end of the 19th century. He won many important club trophies, the last being in 1914, aged 71 with a handicap of 3. He died at his home Hardwick Cottage, Wimbledon Common on 30th December 1917, and at the time he was a member of no fewer than 32 golf clubs.
As a student Purves had played golf at Bruntsfield Links in Edinburgh and by the time of his London appointment he was a member of both the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. Upon his move to London in 1874 he joined the London Scottish and Wimbledon Golf Club. The two clubs shortly separated into two separate clubs, The London Scottish Golf Club and the Wimbledon Golf Club, but both continued to play on Wimbledon Common. In 1882 the Wimbledon became the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club and Purves became an active committee member, later being elected Captain. As the two clubs also shared the Common with the public play was restricted, so together with a fellow Scot and keen amateur golfer (Henry Lamb...
