The text, which is a request to attend a meeting of the Finance Committee, is signed by Gilbert Gorton, Honorary Treasurer. We know very few about Gorton as the Royal North Devon Golf Club had a major fire damage in 1923. But Bill Anderson was able to find some valuable information: According to the Golfing Annual, he was Honorary Treasurer in 1892 and he became Secretary in 1894.

Then, it is a good guess to suppose that is postcard was issued before 1894. Have anybody any better information? We would really appreciate to know. Please write us:
