Having played at several croquet tournaments at Budleigh Salterton over the previous few years, the author, very impressed by all that he had seen there, came to live in Budleigh in March 1968 and joined the Club at once, primarily to play croquet. In the course of preparing an article on "Croquet at Budleigh Salterton", which was published in "DEVON LIFE" in August 1973, he had the opportunity of studying a document prepared in 1947 by Capt. S.S.C.Parsons,R.I. ( who was then Secretary of the Club ) which summarised the Club Committee minutes from 1885 up to the outbreak of war in September 1939. This led to an offer to extend and enlarge the story, to which the Club Committee kindly agreed, granting access to all relevant Club documents. The opportunity was taken of broadening the story of the early history of the Club, by consulting other organisations and individuals who might be able to throw more light on these early days, and so resolve some of the doubts and uncertainties contained in Capt. Parsons' notes. In this connection the author's sincere thanks are due to the Clinton Devon Estates, whose officials searched old records and produced old maps which appear in this history; to Mr. Meynell, Clerk of the Budleigh Salterton Urban District Council for similar help; to Mrs. Jones Bateman for many anecdotes particularly of the Club's experiences during the 1939-45 war, and for searching her memory so patiently; to ex-groundsman West, who possesses a great fund of information about the Club; and to many others who have borne the author's questions with great patience. Apart from the Club Committee minutes and Balance Sheets, the Croquet Record Books and Minute Books, the "Croquet Gazette", the Tennis Tournament Programme file and the various sectional committee minutes, have all provided much information. Finally, the author's thanks are due to his wife, who has borne his activities in connection with this history with tolerance and understanding. The plan of this history is essentially chronological and covers the period from the earliest days around 1870 to the end of 1970. In the century of the Club's existence there have been several distinct phases which make convenient sub-divisions of the whole story. At the end of each of these sections, a summary of the period covered is given. A series of Appendices is given at the end of the story in which tabulated annual data on a number of topics is given. It should be noted that one of the difficulties of elucidating the gradual evolution of the Club's grounds is that the numbering of the various lawns was altered on several occasions without being recorded. This has led to the necessity for a considerable amount of deduction from later information. In some cases there is still doubt about the exact piece of land which is referred to in various minutes. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS. Page Diary of Major Events. 3 Section 1.
