Secretaries' Cup

This cup was donated by two past Secretaries, Philip D'Arcy and Richard Payne, and can be awarded at the Judges' discretion to a "physical" entry considered to show a high degree of promise.

Rules

  1. This is a non-competitive trophy that can be awarded at the Judges' discretion to a "physical" entry selected from any of the Competitions which, in the opinion of the Judges, shows particular promise.
  2. It does not have to be an entry that has won another trophy, but equally it is not intended to be a consolation prize to a runner-up.
  3. The aim of the Judges shall be to encourage progress in collecting and exhibiting.
