We had the good fortune of a message from Wayne at Community Spirit Thatcham in connection with this tankard. It is the Newbury Badminton Club Men’s Singles trophy.
The first winner was D.T. Jones in 1964, T.C. Snook won in 1968, A.A.M. Vockins 1969, R. Deasley 1970. The last winner was R.J. Haney in 1984. Some members still remember some of those names!
Wayne would not accept a donation for rescuing the trophy. If members have anything that they wish to donate to a charity shop go to Community Spirit Thatcham at 34 High St, Thatcham RG19 3JH. Visit their Facebook for more information.
