H.M. (Sammy) Bartleet Memorial Trophy

version française

H.W. (Sammy) Barleet was the first President of the newly reformed Bicycle Polo Association of Great Britain (B.P.A.G.B.) in 1930. Sammy Barleet is a great name in cycling circles: his museum of cycles was nationally known. His wisdom & enthusiasm was a large factor in the progress of the cycle polo in those early days. At his death in 1943, a trophy was put up in his memory for competition in a different area (of G.B.) each year. Usually, the association awards the competition to a newly formed area, which has found its feet sufficiently to stage a true competition. As the trophy has moved around the country over the years, most of the great club names of polo are inscribed on it.
