Trophy
Presented as a substitute by Mitchell-Barker when the Club felt the solid silver trophy was too big a responsibility. Needless to say we were more than disappointed with the substitute that Mitchell Barker provided, a simple plaque, we imagined he would give a cup.
The Club’s major Open Event usually held at August Bank holiday Weekend over three days, two races per days. Five out of six to count.
Winners:
