NATIONAL TROPHIES AND WINNERS

This section (K) of the Handbook lists National Trophies and winners. Each trophy has a brief introduction outlining some of the history, and giving details of the donor of the trophy. Also included in the introduction to each trophy are the conditions relating to the award of the trophy. In these conditions, a “Member” is one whose application for membership of the Tricycle Association has been received, subject to ratification, by the National Treasurer; together with the fees for the current year; before the start of the qualifying event. This introductory paragraph also indicates if the trophy has to be claimed and indicates how the claim must be made. Over a period of time the aim is to improve these listings by the addition of winners times, average speeds, distances covered, etc. So far, some trophies have been updated in full or in part and updated lists will be issued from time to time. Any information which will help to fill these gaps will be gratefully received and should be sent to the National Secretary. To reduce the need to issue updates of this section on an annual basis space has been left at the end of each list of winners so that Members may update the lists annually from the information in the list of winners which is issued each year at the National Reunion Dinner. This information will also be updated in the on line version of the Handbook which can be found on the Tricycle Association website www.tricycleassociation.org.uk
