[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 129821, member: 25"]Yacht club, and rather a minor one to go for EPNS spoons. I have known entrants in races to get some token like this wheras the winners got more noticeable prizes. I have a pewter tankard in the shed somewhere for a race for vintage yachts on the Thames at St.Katherine's dock, just below Tower Bridge. We got the prize because we were to only ones who turned up for the start, due to foul weather. Not a great Victory, but we had come all the way down the Thames from Isleworth that morning Of course, it could be nothing to do with yachts, most people do not change their vessel every year, but they do not change their horses or pets that often either. However, if you are crewing, you could crew whatever boat needed you.[/QUOTE]
