I thought the trophies are already sponsored????

...by Ducati UK?

Why not just take the frigging NE trophies - they're miles better!

I told you already. I spoke to Chris Bushell and asked him why don't we get the New Era trophies, and he said that he had told New Era that we would supply our own. Chris also said to me that he had been told (by someone) that club trophies weren't anything to shout about.

However, if they were paper plates, surely it's up to the riders whether they want them or not?

True.

The DD trophies are nice because they are proper metal, not plastic like the NE ones BUT they are about 1/10th of the size!

If all they do is sit on a shelf, this doesn't really matter so bigger the better I say! Lets take the NE ones and spend the trophy budget on ... something else. Advertising? Promotion? Whatever.

OK, I'll set myself up to be shot down on this one.
The DD series is set up and run in the name of the DSC and all its members(not just the riders).

I agree we could accept the NE ones but it would be nicer if we could come up with trophies to present on behalf of the DSC. It is unfortunate if the trophies were not as good as the NE ones (I wouldn't know, I never came near to seeing a trophy up close, even the one I saw in Nicks trophy cabinet (the one with the magnifying window glass) was seen at a distance) so maybe the RC can take the comment on board and try to do better next year.
Can I have a trophy for longest slide (all the way down Paddock hill and half way across the gravel in race 1 2006!)?

Sure, but there's a budget for it. And this year there's more than twice the pots to buy with (i guess) a similar ammount of £ as last year.
