The Gamage Cup and its history

History

Gamages was a London department store who provided a Trophy which was shot for at the Welsh Annual meeting of the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs. The Surrey Comet reports that Ham and Petersham sent a team and a couple of weeks later is was reported that the Trophy was displayed at a shop in Richmond. The details of the conditions are not yet fully understood, but it seems as though the Club won it outright. The 1919 Report gives the Course of Fire as 3 targets of 10 shots each at 50 yards, best 2 to count, handicap

The Management Committee Minutes of 1st February 1925 say that Mr W S Stuart has offered to present a Trophy (The Stuart Trophy ), to be competed for under the same conditions as the Gamage Cup which had been won outright.
