EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1991, we are transported back to the picturesque Golf and Country Club in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image captures a momentous occasion as renowned middle-distance runner Sebastian Coe enjoys a leisurely lunch with South East Cornwall MP, Robert Hicks. Both gentlemen were present at the club for a Conservative Party fundraiser and to show their unwavering support for Mr. Coe's prospective candidacy as MP for Falmouth and Camborne. The photograph exudes an air of camaraderie and political ambition as these influential figures engage in conversation over plates filled with delectable dishes. Their animated expressions suggest lively discussions on matters close to their hearts - perhaps strategies for the upcoming election or visions for the future of their beloved constituency. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully freezes this significant moment in time, allowing us to glimpse into the world of politics intertwined with sport. It is worth noting that thanks to his dedication and hard work, Sebastian Coe went on to secure victory in the subsequent election, serving as MP from 1992 until 1997. This remarkable print serves not only as a testament to friendship but also highlights how individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together under one roof - be it a golf club or any other setting - united by shared goals and aspirations.
