Shikar Club
The Shikar Club〔The name of the Shikar Club comes from the Hindi word for hunting reflecting the early link with hunting in the Indian sub-continent.〕 is an international sporting club founded in London in 1909 by Old Boys of Eton and Rugby to champion the cause of hunting and in particular big game hunting. Its founding members included: Frederick Courtney Selous, P. B. Vanderbyl and Charles Edward Radclyffe.〔Callum McKenzie, ''The British Big-Game Hunting Tradition, Masculinity and Fraternalism with Reference to ‘The Shikar Club’'' (University of Strathclyde)〕
== Inauguration==
On 7 June 1909 at the Café Royal, Regent Street in London more than seventy well known hunting and shooting men met at an inaugural dinner to found the Shikar Club. The event was presided over by the Earl of Lonsdale〔Daily Mail, Announcement of Shikar Club Supper, 6 June 1909〕 and ''The Field'' for June 1909 devoted a page and a half to a description of the event. A discussion took place after the meal at which a committee was formed to write a constitution of the Club at their leisure.〔''The Field'', 15 June 1909〕
The Shikar Club promoted shooting at international shooting exhibitions with the clear expression of big game hunting within legitimate class and national identities,〔J. A. Mangan, ''Reformers, Sport, modernizers: Middle-Class Revolutionaries''〕 The courageous feats of members were celebrated with the emphasis being on danger within a moral philosophy of ‘fair play’.
