NB. The winner of each Trophy will be determined by the Association based on recorded wins.  If the most successful exhibits during the year are not owned by Member(s) of the Association the Association reserves the right not to award any trophy in any given year.

The Hon. Secretary will compile the results for each trophy, based on recorded wins, and then have these calculations cross checked by the Committee prior to the winner of each trophy being announced.  The winners will be notified by the Secretary in writing and the winners will continue to be formally announced at the Association’s Annual General Meeting.
