To whom it may concern:
I have been helping an elderly friend clear out some accumulated belongings. Among other things, we found a small silver trophy inscribed: Sudan Marine Club, 1926 1927 J. W. Clark (her late father in law). We thought it must relate to a sailing club and were wondering if you were able to throw any light upon the matter. If it was a sailing club back then, it may have changed its name and we were wondering if you have any idea what the current club name may be (assuming it is not totally defunct). Any information which you may have would be gratefully received!
Kind regards,
Catrin Jones
