HARRY HUNT MEMORIAL

Bought back into use in 2026

The Harry Hunt Memorial
Awarded to the winner on the Club Open 25 Mile.

Note From Mike Edwards:
The Harry Hunt Trophy was first awarded in 1975 for the Club Open 50 and over the past years the Open 25. To my knowledge this Trophy as been forgotten for at least the last 3 Opens.  It was always awarded to the fastest rider.

Harry Hunt was a member of the old Chippenham C.C. and was famous for his long distance riding. In 1895  he rode a”Pneumatic Cycle “ covering 185 miles in 12 hours.

This Trophy (a tankard.) commemorates his achievements, plus we also have several of his medals attached to the President’s Chain.  Dick Bond, when Club Secretary obtained these items from a Mrs Anderson, Harry’s Daughter.
