The Gouda Trophy

The Gouda Trophy

In 1985 the club organised a charity ride to Gloucester’s twin town of Gouda in response to the visit by Gouda riders the year before. The Club President (Ted Tedaldi) was presented with a Church Warden’s clay pipe made by a master craftsman. He in turn presented it to the Club to be awarded for the best overseas ride, as judged by vote at the AGM. In 2024, the trophy being somewhat the worse for wear, it was retired and returned to Ted Tedaldi. The best overseas tour has since been rewarded with the Prestbury Cancer Centenary Trophy.
