AROUND HAMPSHIRE

THE STUART MCNEILLE MEMORIAL TROPHY

This magnificent bowl is awarded each year to the rider showing the fastest time that year around the borders of the County of Hampshire.

The Trophy was presented to the club by the parents of Stuart McNeille, one our most popular members, who was killed in the 1939-45 War. Stuart was a great clubman, and particularly devoted to long distance riding and racing, covering 374 miles in the 1939 Wessex R.C. “Twenty Four”. It was felt that it would have been his wish that such a memorial trophy should be devoted to the furtherance of long distance riding

The course, if it can be called such goes via, Emsworth, Lepe, Stoney Lane Roundabout, Purwell, Downton, Cadnam, North Tidworth, Andover, Newton Roundabout near Newbury, Blackwater, Hindhead, and Emsworth.

These points must be passed through, and by – passes may be used where applicable. The route taken between the points is at the rider’s discretion. The total mileage is approximately 214 miles.
