    Default F.P Office Denbigh

    Has anyone any idea what the F.P Office would have been in 1891.

    I have a newspaper clipping reporting that

    "a meeting of cyclists was held at the Kings Arms club room to establish a cycling club".

    An ancestor of mine was elected as an officer - Mr Malings, F.P. Office, bugler.

    Would like to try and find out what the F.P. Office was.

    I looked up military abbreviations on the guess that a bugler might have military connections FP is given as "Field Punishment". perhaps there was a Field Punishment Office?

    Waiting for the bugler to give two blasts before you could dismount? How very civilised!
