The Annual General Meeting, on 15th May, was well attended and of course, the presentation of trophies was the highlight.
Notable attendees were life members, John Boas and Noel Burrows and special guests, John Griffith and wife Pam, very long and loyal supporters of the Club.
On this occasion, the Club unveiled a new trophy which has been donated jointly by John Griffith and Ashley Woods. (Ashley is currently residing in London)
The trophy, The Woods/Griffith Trophy, to be awarded to the “most outstanding junior jumper in the Club”, in essence replacing and expanding on a previous, very dated junior high jump trophy which had been donated by John back in the late 1970s. John and Ashley were thanked profusely for their generous donation.
