Yes Agreed Mike, I have searched and reached a dead end regarding the name Tasker and The Shooting Club too.

Fantastic! Many thanks Joanne

Thanks Astoness. I agree it is a wonderful photograph with its vast array of hats! I was hoping the photo would have names etc written on the reverse but sadly no. I have traced my family to Berners Street around this time and in fact lived her upto the 1940/50s and was hoping the photo might...

I did wonder if having a Gun Club attached to a pub was a good idea, especially after a few pints! Thanks for checking. I do have access to the Newspaper articles on FMP so I will check it out, though I oftern get side tracked reading the news of the day: fascinating! Joanne
