Mounsey Trophy

PN,

The Mounsey Trophy is at Waddo (somewhere near to you?), since their team has won it for the past 5 years - but the format is not what you recall.

In 2002 the RAF Swimming Association moved to change the RAF Inter-Command Swimming, Diving and Water Polo (3 disciplines) championships into an Inter-Station format. At the same time they considered the Mounsey format was a bit out of date for these more modern times. Should the RAF really be press-ganging as many Stn personnel as possible to swim 12 lengths just to score points and win a trophy?

So from 2003 onwards the Mounsey Trophy has been awarded to the Stn that is the overall combined champion across the 3 disciplines at the RAF Inter-Station Championships. Waddo has won it for the first 5 years of the Mounsey in this new guise - this year's championships will take place at Cranwell from 15 to 16 November.

For those out there looking for available silver, I understand it's now kept at Donington. Should have more details to follow up this post next week.
