British Federation for Correspondence Chess

 

 

The Club's first Trophy was the Bailey Shield. 
This was donated by Eric Bailey, the fourth winner of the Championship in 1971,

and joint winner in 1979.

 

This Shield was held by each winner for the year in which he was Champion,
and his name is inscribed on one of the small Shields.
 
The Shield was in use for 40 years until the 2007 season,
by which time all the small shields were filled.
The Bailey Shield is now retired from use and resides in the Club Archive.
 

 

THE IVOR

DAVIES

TROPHY



 

 

A new Trophy was required to replace the Bailey Shield which was full,
so a new Shield was obtained, named in honour of our Founder,
former President, and Benefactor of the Club, Ivor Davies.
 

The Ivor Davies Trophy was first awarded to the joint winners of the 2007 / 2008 season
and will now be passed round all winners for the next 25 years.
