Button # 663 Image submitted by Dixon Pickup Button # 663a Back of Button Button # 664 Image submitted by Dixon Pickup Button # 664a Back of Button Description Waveney Valley Golf Club - of Bungay, Suffolk was instituted in January 1889, originally with a nine-hole course, but enlarged to eighteen in 1896, when it was called Bungay & Waveney Valley GC. This is a scarce example of an award in gilt metal, handengraved on the obverse WVGC/LADIES/MONTHLY MEDAL/NOVEMBER 1903. It measures 24mm. I have a group of four such examples, another LADIES dated JANY 1903, and two without LADIES, which are presumably gentlemen’s awards; these are again for monthly competitions and are dated, FEBRUARY 24th 1903 and NOVEMBER 1904. One has a maker’s mark Vaughton Birm’m. As is well-known, club golf in England in these early days was often a winter sport, and here is an illustration.
