8vo. 223, [1] pp. Frontispiece, numerous plates, index. Original blue gilt-stamped cloth. Very good. "When A Noel Mobbs and F McDermott wrote their book Curling in Switzerland, published by Arrowsmith in 1929, they listed 37 resorts in that country which had facilities for curling. One of these was Villars, which had two clubs. The Villars Curling Club had an average of 33 members, including ten ladies. The Villars Chalateer Club had an average of 13 members, including two ladies. The authors also write, "At any resort where there is curling a lady will usually find little difficulty in getting some instruction in the game, even though the remainder of the players are all men. Some ladies, however, may prefer to go to a resort where they will be fairly certain to find other members of their sex on the rink. Centres which are likely to fulfil this requirement are St Moritz, Davos, Murren, Grindelwald, VILLARS, Celerina, Maloja, and Wengen." âÂÂ" The women curlers who first took to the ice in Switzerland. (2019). / Sir Arthur Noel Mobbs KCVO OBE was the founder of Slough Estates, one of the United Kingdom's largest property businesses. Mobbs was also keen to establish sporting and social facilities for the people of Slough and in 1928 he bought Stoke Park Golf Club for ã30,000 and reformed it. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers TK0021
