A reminder to all trophy winners from 2015 (see here for the list) that trophies must be returned (cleaned and engraved) to Lisa Deaville by the end of December so that she can get organised for distributing them to the lucky winners from 2016! She has sent several emails since November so you should all have them ready to return!
