All New Runnymede Shield
By Pete Wood • Published on Friday 3 May 2013, 5:42pm
Hi folks,
Traditionally, the June meeting has always hosted the Bill Roberts Memorial Trophy competition, in honour of the late Bill Roberts, a highly respected former Guild member.
This has been running since 1987 and it has been decided that the time has come to leave Bill in peace, and refresh this event for future meetings, starting from June 1st 2013.
The Bill Roberts trophy has been replaced with a brand new award, named the "Runnymede Shield", which sports a fresh new all-Meccano logo as its centre-piece, made from genuine parts, highly polished to a dazzling sheen!
This award will be unveiled in all its glory on 1st June.
The format for the competition will follow the same rules and regulations as we had previously, and the winner will be presented with the Shield for their safe-keeping until the following years event, when it must be returned.
They will also be presented with a special commemorative certificate, which is theirs to keep.
The rules for the competition will be included with the meeting reminders when they are issued in the next week or two, but remember to notify the secretary of your intention to enter the competition, and include details of the model you are entering.
With compliments,
Pete Wood
