I am seeking a photo of the Gummery Cup to include on my webpage about Albert (Bert) Harry Gummery (1871 - 1947) of Martley at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gomery/ahgumm.html and wondered if someone in the Martley area knows the current holder of the cup and would be willing to photograph it for me, please?
This cup was first presented to the Martley Air Rifle Club in 1921 by S.R. Hare who lived at Kingswood. It was to become the property of the club member who won it three times - which happened to be Bert Gummery. After Bert's death in 1947, Christopher Rimmell, who boarded with Bert for many years, gave the cup back to the club and it became known as the Gummery Cup. The competition for the Gummery Cup is a knockout, shot over one evening between members of the Martley Air Rifle Club and awarded to the winner at the end of the shoot. The Gummery Cup was first competed for in 1948 and is still competed for annually to this day, so someone out there is the current holder.
Many thanks for any help.
