He served in the Legislative Council between 1917 and 1923, and represented Fiji at the 1938 British Empire Games. BiographyBorn in New Zealand,[1] Clapcott began working for the Colonial Sugar Refining Company at Nausori in 1894, transferring to Ba later in the year.[2] After leaving the company, he bought the Yala Levu estate from the company.[2] Clapcott successfully contested the Northern constituency of the Legislative Council in the 1917 elections, unseating the incumbent MLC Henry Lamb Kennedy. He was re-elected in 1920, but did not stand in the 1923 elections, in which Kennedy was returned unopposed. Clapcott represented Fiji in the Lawn Bowls competition at the 1938 British Empire Games, taking part in the Men's Rinks (Fours). He died in Ba on 14 July 1941.[3] References1. ^[https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-314861136/view?partId=nla.obj-314867994#page/n46/mode/1up Death of old Fiji settler] Pacific Islands Monthly, August 1941, p5 {{DEFAULTSORT:Clapcott, Frederick}}2. ^1 [https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-315041811/view?partId=nla.obj-315071789#page/n12/mode/1up About Islands People] Pacific Islands Monthly, April 1939, p11 3. ^[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17756959 Family Notices] The Sydney Morning Herald, 15 July 1941 7 : New Zealand emigrants to Fiji|Fiji sugar industry|Members of the Legislative Council of Fiji|Bowls players at the 1938 British Empire Games|Commonwealth Games competitors for Fiji|Fijian male bowls players|1941 deaths |
