The John Croucher Memorial Trophy was created in memory of John Croucher who had been a great Stalwart of the club. For many years John helped out at every training session and test throwing dummies, rarely running his own dog in order to help. He also took some of the training sessions when necessary. He was a tremendous supporter of the club so when he passed away the club created a memorial trophy in his name.
This trophy is awarded to repay the support from the most helpful non committee member during the previous working test season who has helped either at the working tests or behind the scenes.
This year the award has been given to Jane Gray who has helped out at most of our working tests this season. Jane is usually one of the first to arrive on a test morning, even if she is competing as well, and been a tremendous asset to the team helping with the set up and making sure everyone gets a cup of tea and a bacon roll, which is most important. Jane also offers her support to other clubs so we really appreciate the time she gives up for us.
