 A battered old ‘Peak Freans’ biscuit tin revealed a bundle of fixture lists and just the one selection book.

The items featured show the football fixtures for the Old Berkhamstedians, with the O.B.F.C. colours and different formats of card and miniature books.

The OB Rugby selection book dates from 1973 – 1977, with details of the players and matches.

The Berkhamsted School shooting fixtures, range from the 1894 season to the Rifle Volunteer Corps (2nd Volunteer Battalion Beds. Regiment) in 1899 and onto the O.T.C. fixture in 1935. We don’t have a huge amount of material for this category, so these were a welcome find.
