MONARCHS' CLUB TROPHIES

 

	M.S.S.C. Scottish Open Trophy (originally awarded as the Trophy for Gallantry). After the death of Jack Young in the eighties the supporters' club voted to dedicate the Trophy to him, and so it now carries the inscription - THE JACK YOUNG MEMORIAL SCOTTISH OPEN TROPHY The Trophy was purchased by donations from the Old Meadowbank terraces. Some years ago it was valued at £5,000 and it is probably substantially higher now.
	M.S.S.C. Rider of the Year Trophy, first awarded in 1950. Actual wording on the plinth is  Meadowbank Speedway Rider of the Year Trophy For many years it was awarded to the top average rider, now a vote is held. Winners as they appear on the plinth shown below.
	The Raymond Jarvie Trophy. This was purchased in 2005 in memory of the Monarchs' supporter who passed away the previous year at just 52 years of age. On the rear of the Cup, Master Engraver Ian Grant has carved a likeness of Raymond. The award is for "An Outstanding Contribution to Monarchs" and the first recipient in 2005 was Rusty Harrison.
	The George Wells Memorial Trophy George Wells was a popular figure on and off track throughout Scottish Speedway, especially at Powderhall and Armadale. He continued racing throughout at least 4 decades, and worked tirelessly at our tracks. Sadly he was taken ill and died during 2004. Supporters contributed to a collection to provide a Trophy in George's memory, to be awarded to "The Most Improved Young Rider".  The Trophy was presented for the first time on 30/9/2005 to  Andrew Tully by George's daughter Laraine.
