The James Ross Memorial Trophy.

James Ross was a former member of the Club who joined in 2008. He loved being a member, enjoyed Club activities and made many friends. In his latter years ill-health affected his attendance and, when diagnosed with terminal cancer, he offered to set up an annual memorial trophy which would recognise members with a minimum of ten years membership who had made an outstanding contribution to the Club.  Recipients have been the late Les Wiltshire in 2017. in 2018 Clare Hurley, 2019 Lyn Brinson, 2020 Pat Grundy, 2021, Ken Longfield..  Our 2022 recipient is Carl Gunther.
