Gordon Scott asks are you able to shed any light on the origin of this impressive trophy? It is not clear if it is a regional or national award. It is about 20 inches/500mm in height and the inscription says: Arthur Wilcockson memorial trophy, Presented by Subscription. Please contact the webmaster if you are able to help.

Brian Newton, Echelon SPIUK - Accident
27th May 2008

Whilst riding the VTTA(West) club 10 Brian Newton misjudged a corner, touched the verge and was catapulted into a deep ditch. No one else was involved. Brian sustained multiple fractures to his spine, neck, sternum and ribs. Brian was wearing a safety helmet. He has had multiple x-rays and ct scans. Brian’s nervous system, mental faculties and lower limbs have not been affected and he is clear and coherent. He is, however, fully strapped down and not yet in a position for visits. An operation has not been ruled out but now seems less likely. The current prognosis is that he will be in a full body splint for about six months. Brian is in Kingfisher Ward of the Great Western Hospital in Swindon. He is, however, scheduled to be moved fairly soon to either Bristol or Oxford. No further information is available and Brian’s partner Arja will be very busy for some while. Goodwill cards from friends would be appreciated.
