DH Worgan, Raymond Baxter and Derek “Willey” Williams, were the three founding members of Southern Counties Sprite Club in 1959.
The first dated shield would appear to be awarded to D Sutcliffe, for an event 14th October 1962. There are connections to the Dutch Healey Club.
This is, we believe, our oldest Southern Counties trophy and is currently in the care of Rob and Kevin Law.
E & OE, corrections and additional information very much welcomed by the club.
