At the first meeting held for the formation of the club, this meeting being held in Cripps room, situated at the rear of what is now Majors Store in High Street, the distinctive colors of the two blues was decided.
In deciding on the Two Blues the club set out on the right footing from the very inception, as no other club can boast of the traditional colors of the two most famous Universities in the world, Cambridge and Oxford.
These colors were selected the dark blue of Oxford and the 1ight blue of Cambridge because of the keen rivalry of the originators of the club, each University being equally represented on the Goldflields by former students men of great foresight who had the wisdom to come together and form one grand and happy club.
