"When A Noel Mobbs and F McDermott wrote their book Curling in Switzerland published by Arrowsmith in 1929 they listed 37 resorts in that country which had facilities for curling. One of these was Villars which had two clubs. The Villars Curling Club had an average of 33 members including ten ladies. The Villars Chalateer Club had an average of 13 members including two ladies. The authors also write "At any resort where there is curling a lady will usually find little difficulty in getting some instruction in the game even though the remainder of the players are all men. Some ladies however may prefer to go to a resort where they will be fairly certain to find other members of their sex on the rink. Centres which are likely to fulfil this requirement are St Moritz Davos Murren Grindelwald VILLARS Celerina Maloja and Wengen." – The women curlers who first took to the ice in Switzerland. 2019. / Sir Arthur Noel Mobbs KCVO OBE was the founder of Slough Estates one of the United Kingdom's largest property businesses.

1823réf. 352339Cephalonia 1823. 3 pp. on a single sheet bifolium with address To Msgr Stevens Argostoli. 8vo. Small tear above signature from opening wax seal still present. Old docketing in French. 3 pp. on a single sheet bifolium with address To Msgr Stevens Argostoli. 8vo. A notable Byron letter showing his commitment to join the armed struggle in Greece just before he left Cephalonia for the Greek mainland. As is frequently the case Byron writes beneath a letter from Count Gamba whose sister was Byron's mistress Countess Guiccioli addressed "Caro Stevens". The correspondent George Stevens was a customs official at Argostoli on Cephalonia and a recipient of several letters from Byron in 1823. "P.S. Dear sir Gamba is half asleep and and sic don't know what he says. I do not suppose it to be Parry's Brigade - but whoever or whatever it be - if it came from the committee I will attend to it with all diligence. The boats had better be engaged because if this intelligence is not confirmed I must sail at any rate and even if it be I shall sail as soon as possible after communicating with the vessels on their voyage which if my instructions do not err or I for them are committed to my direction. I do not perceive however how a ship directed to Greece Continental from London can touch at Ancona in its propoer course unless it has continued to pass the Alps by Steam or a special wind of Providence added to a new Deluge. But whether correct or otherwise the repeat of our friend Count Delladecima believe that I am ever and truly ." Byron had been staying on Cephalonia since August. Edward Trelawny his opportunistic and self-aggrandizing sometime travelling companion had gone to Greece in September and was soon converted to another faction in the Greek struggle for independence. In November Byron was besieged by requests for money and a week after this letter would pledge large sums to the cause. Here he demonstrates a considerable flash of wit and knowledge of current technology as he reminds his correspondent of the realities of Italian geography and suggests Steam power or a new Deluge as the only possible explanation for a proposed itinerary Ancona is on the Adriatic far to the north of Cephalonia. As the representative of the London Greek Committee "Byron remained in Cephalonia with Pietro Gamba multiplying his Greek contacts and assessing information he was gathering as a prelude to action. When Prince Alexander Mavrocordatos who eventually became first president of independent Greece moved to Missolonghi in December he invited Byron to join him and his forces" ODNB. Byron and Gamba departed from Argostoli on 29 December 1823. Gamba's vessel was captured and briefly held by the Turks; Byron reached Missolonghion 4 January 1824. This letter was previously known only in an excerpt from the description in catalogue 44 of F. Naylor July 1878 incorrectly dated to May and lacking the name of the correspondent published in A Heart for Every Fate: Byron's Letters and Journals Vol. 10 1980 pp. 161-162.
