January 25, 200818 yr Seen in 2001 but not awarded due to foot and mouth, the Stratford-Upon-Avon Club have lost the Cranmore Trophy, awarded to runner up in the Colmore. Each year at the end of the Colmore, we have an award ceremony to present the big trophies. The winner gets the Colmore Cup. Some years, the runner up isn't present, so the Cranmore cup hasn't always been given out, however none of us can remember exactly the last time we did present it. But it's gone. Obviously we know who was runner up in the Colmore over the last six years and we've written to them all and it seems no one has it. Here is a picture of the Cranmore Cup, if you have this trophy please get in touch as we would like to present it at the Colmore again this year. Thanks Pete
January 25, 200818 yr I'll check the trophy cabinet Looks like a nice 'un. 6 years missing, hope you manage to find it. Not any use to anyone, so hopefully it will work its way out of the woodwork.
January 25, 200818 yr Author I know it smacks of incompetence, but putting on a trial like the Colmore takes a lost of people a lot of effort and we simply didn't take notice of who had the runner up trophy last. We think we had it up to 2004 but really can't be sure, it's very frustrating as the Cranmore Trophy is actually a nicer trophy than the Colmore Cup itself!
December 5, 201015 yr Although the mystery of who had the trophy continues, the Cranmore Trophy came back into my posession yesterday morning. It's currently at the silversmiths being cleaned up ready for the 100th Colmore next year. Thanks to everyone who had a look for it. Pete
December 6, 201015 yr Congratulations on recovering the trophy. It's not much of a cup though is it? Thats because its a Trophy
