Trophies – South Eastern Centre Challenge Trophy

The South Eastern Centre Challenge Trophy was first awarded in 1987 to the Car of the Show at the Summer Gathering. The Summer Gathering is a long-standing social event in the Centre’s calendar and has usually included a Pride of Ownership competition. The winner generally comes from among the entrants in the competition.

It is a silver-plated platter with the winning names inscribed on the reverse.

Some of the names are hard to read but we’ll do our best!
