This is a guide to the open event trophies and some of their history
| The Jock Compton Memorial Trophy |
| Jock was club captain of the now defunct Kingston R.C before the 1939-45 War. He was renowned for picking out all the biggest hills he could find on club runs. He survived a number of years as a POW in Japanese hands, only to be released and, then, when almost home, by a cruel twist of fate, was killed in a plane crash on top of Hindhead. Timekeeper, Peter Cooke and Hilly promoter George Wright joined the Redmon when the Kingston disbanded and brought the event with them. |
