At the beginning of the recent club meeting chairman Iain Ward announced that the Marchetti Shield for the clubman of the year was to be awarded that evening. This trophy is awarded to the member who has made a notable non competition contribution to club life. It had been decided that the work on resurrecting the web site was just such a contribution and so the shield was to be awarded to a very surprised webmaster (David Hambley).

In accepting the shield David thanked the club and acknowledged the great help provided by his son Michael throughout this flight of discovery. Pictured below is David with Michael who won the shield as a junior in 1994
