[Dickson, Pat] : A Short History of the Clovelly Country Club

(Fish Hoek: Clovelly Country Club, 1974)

210 x 146 mm; saddle-stitched pictorial wrappers; pp. 68; photographs; some adverts. Wrappers slightly rubbed and sunned; trace of spotting to edges. Very good condition. 'Those who recall the Club in its early days when it was virtually a club without a clubhouse, and later, in the immediately pre-War years when things were a little easier, during the War years, the post-War years, the post-fire years and so on, are convinced that Clovelly does have, moreover, a "history" which thoroughly deserves the telling. The writer of the present one has, indeed, told the Chairman that, although the name Clovelly was formerly nothing to her except a suburban railway station "somewhere out Fish Hoek way", she has since realised that its history, for sheer drama, variety, and as a record of progress against seemingly overwhelming odds, beats that of the Crusades, the Norman Conquest, and the Great Trek.'
