Acknowledgments

It has been impossible to find any Minute Books before the late 1940s and therefore my thanks are particularly due to:-

• the late Harold Willey for papers and photographs of his own and of his uncle H. B. Willey
• the late Dr. Edward Bramley for confirmation about the very early years
• the Sheffield City Library for research facilities, particularly into the scrap-books and other papers of L. C. Barber and B. W. Doncaster deposited there by Mark Barber
• my cousin J. C. Wilson for several scrap-books of his father, C. R. Wilson
• W. R. Jenkinson for the club cash-book 1901-1924 and other papers

C. Hayes Jones for his recollections of a life-time's scoring and for various papers

• C. G. Buck for papers and photographs
• Mrs. H. B. Grayson for loan of a scrapbook
• Mark Barber for a great deal of invaluable information
• T. H. Reed for memories of his playing days

and numerous members for their help and encouragement.

I also wish to thank Messrs. Guion & King for their help and skill in producing this book.
