Winter League
I reckon I am doing about 7 weeks to the gallon in my car at present and most of that was arranging to collect the Winter league's first-ever trophy. The first viewing of the Founders Cup, the new trophy to be awarded annually to the winners of the Winter League, makes an impressive sight as you can see below. Purchased entirely through funds raised by donations from the League Founders so this is your cup.
The engraving says FOUNDERS CUP at the top with the Winter League logo in the centre and engraved CHAMPIONS below that. A trophy worth winning. Thank you to Ballcraft for their help in sourcing the trophy.
It had to be ordered before Christmas to guarantee delivery before the end of January when we were expecting to be making the presentation to our first League Champions. Goodness knows when we will know who they are, or when that will be but we have a really impressive trophy awaiting the winners whenever that may be.
We also intend purchasing a Founders Plate to be awarded annually to the Top Bowler in the League and we also expect to add a Founders Shield for the winners of the Division 2 title. We have the funds and maybe we will have some idea on timeframes once Boris announces his Road Map to Normality.
.... an end of season would be an achievement at present.
Very smart looking trophy.
Perhaps in future years the League may consider having an end of season presentation and social evening. Just a thought.
