Meyer
(started
1967, trophy presented by Alan Thurgood, committee
made him first winner, which caused him some embarrassment, but he had a good
season, and was a worthy winner. The player with the best percentage score may
not win - 50% against highly rated opponents may be regarded as better than
100% against relatively weak opposition. Other players have won for exceptional
service to the club.)

Started earlier,
trophy purchased and first presented in 1972. Games are played on level terms,
but results against higher rated players count more than those against lower
rated players. For the season,
2003-2004, the greatest percentage increase in grading performance will take
the trophy.

Trophy
Presented by E V ('Ted') Sperrin, for players graded
under 130, to give them more chance of winning trophies. In recent years, the
trophy has been contested by players who have tried to qualify for the
championship final, but failed. In practice, they are almost invariably graded
under 130.
