Nun-Brook Wheelers Time Trial trophy

[daccordimark]

I've recently been given custody of a trophy that my current club inherited when another local club was wound up in the 1990s.
It was awarded to the fastest rider in the Nun-Brook Wheelers open 50 mile time trial covering the years 1953 to 1988. Imagine my delight when I discovered some famous names as previous winners.

I don't recognise any names until we get to 1972 I. R. White who I assume is Ian White. After that I think I remember these ones correctly.
M. Bradshaw - Mick Bradshaw
G. Longland - Glenn Longland
D. J. Smith - Dave Smith
and some bloke called Cammish who I think did the occasional decent ride .

Great trophy Mark. Lots of TT'ing history there. I know a lot of the riders listed having 'raced' against them in years gone by. I'm sure I rode the Nunbrook event a few times in the 70's and 80's - but you won't find my name on the trophy

It's certainly the first time I've ever had a proper trophy in my house!

I stumbled across a race report from Lord Cammish's 1985 winning ride on another forum that reveals it was run on the Boro'.
