Name That Trophy!

This would probably be the world's easiest ever spot the difference competition - except its not! Instead please identify the three trophies that the Club Organiser (that would be me) was presented with by League Officer Tom Darling at the recent Leamington League AGM. If you've been a regular reader of the Blog, or even if you have just been paying attention to what's been going on in the local chess world, this should be pretty easy.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Exhibit C

As its been quite a long interval since the last post, I'm desperate to include some music. So here's a song I've only recently discovered (much to my shame) thanks to a CD (kids, get your parents to explain what these are) bought at the Kenilworth Oxfam shop! Hope you find it as haunting and beautiful as I do. Incredibly moving vocals by Gram Parsons.



Apparently this was the favourite song of the late, great Duane Allman, which probably explains why this version was produced. Sorry, though, Gregg - I'm taking the Flying Burrito Brothers version every time!
