[UK-CONTEST] Anyone had a request from RGSB to return anytrophies???

[Lee Volante]

Hi Dave,

I too was a little curious, as I was holding onto the NFD Shield for 
Lichfield and similarly received no letter.  Sylvia Manco at HQ has been 
dealing with the trophies, and I know (from contest committee 
correspondence) that letters have been sent out and various trophies 
returned.

So I gave Sylvia a call last week to query if a letter had been sent to me, 
and she said that letters were sent out to the "club or society secretary" 
if it was a club win, and so the individual that signed for them at their 
presentation might not be contacted directly. Sylvia didn't have the details 
to hand of who this was sent to for Lichfield. (Someone may have the letter, 
or it may have been lost in the post.)

The reason for a public reply is to reassure folks that letters have gone 
out, and to clarify what may have happened if you are holding a returnable 
cup / trophy on behalf of a club or society, and have not received a letter 
directly.  For anyone holding a trophy that needs to be returned, I'd give 
them a good polish and get them sent back as soon as possible, as many will 
need engraving arranged in time for the October convention. If club 
secretaries don't seem to have received these letters if expected, let me 
know or give Sylvia a call at HQ to clarify any required details, such as 
reimbursement (as Dave mentions.)

73,

Lee G0MTN
