Past Captains' and Committee Chalice
History
We have so far not been able to find out the history of this trophy.
It was first awarded in 1996 as the Past Captains' Chalice, when it was given to the highest placed former Captain at the Past Captains' and Committee Meeting. This meeting was held in the autumn in conjunction with a meeting of the Committee prior to the AGM meeting.
In 2021, following the donation of the John Spencer Trophy, the meeting was re-named as the Late Autumn Meeting and made open to all members. The John Spencer Trophy became the principal trophy for the meeting, with the Past Captains Chalice and the Committee Trophy continuing to be awarded to the highest placed former Captain and the highest placed Committee member.
In 2023 the Committee decided that the Committee Trophy should be 'retired' and the Past Captains' Chalice re-named as the 'Past Captains' and Committee Chalice', to be awarded to the highest placed past Captain or current Committee member, excluding the winner of the John Spencer Trophy if applicable.
