The Golden Book
The Golden Book was originally an initiative of Cycling (the magazine), intended to honour cyclists who had achieved great things. The first entry was made at the 1932 BBAR concert.
For reasons I don't fully understand Cycling got bored with the project, and in the early nineties the then management were on the point of throwing the existing book away. It was rescued by Keith Robins (a Pedal Club member) and preserved by the club. The Pedal Club then started its own 'Pedal Club Golden Book' which is where Cliff Shrubb's entry will be kept.
Here is a link to the club's website were both books can be seen:

Unfortunately the new Cliff Shrubb page has not yet got onto the website, but I have a photo which I think will enable you to read it - I will post it here soon, but I can't do it immediately because the pic wasn't intended for this purpose and will need drastic editing which I can't do this moment. Watch this space!
