His cup runneth over - the Steve Cubbins Cup

What's this that Steve Cubbins has won ?

Well, nothing actually, it's YOU who could win this magnificent trophy ... if Steve decides so.

Let's explain.

The committee are very appreciative of Steve's efforts over the years, particularly in organising events such as the Club Championships, Summer Open, Exhibitions, Social tournaments etc. They kept trying to give him some form of reward or recognition for this, but Steve always wanted to stay in the background, got annoyed when a committee member tried to thank hm publicly at one of these events, and refused all offers of recompense.

So, they came up with the idea of ....  the Steve Cubbins Cup.


The idea is that each year Steve gets to decide who should be the lucky recipient, the criteria being ... whatever Steve decides. 

Sterling performances for the club teams, advancement in national and international competitions, tireless work on behalf of the club, acts of kindness (like buying Steve several Kronenbourgs), the possibilities are endless, and we won't get to know who will become the first recipient until this years' Club Championships, which will take place towards the end of the year.

"It's a really nice gesture from the Committee," said Steve. "I do what I do because I enjoy doing it, not for any particular reward, but if they're insistent on making something of it then this is a really nice way, so thanks to everyone involved and I hope I make some good choices to receive this lovely trophy."

So there you go ... you are being watched, and come the end of the year one of you will receive a lovely surprise. Who, and Why ... we'll just have to wait and see ..............
