This massive piece of Regency plate was presented by the county of Denbigh to Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn, 5th baronet. The vase commemorated his service during the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and in southern France in 1814. From 1948, the vase was used as the Mitchell-Hedges trophy for the National Coal Board's first aid competition.

Dear Vic Perrin,
Thank you for getting in touch with us. I'm afraid Sara no longer works at the Museum. I'll try and help best I can. I have contacted a few of my colleagues who will hopefully be able to advise on the process of organising a visit to the museum and any facilities available to host the reunion. Just to let you know that a number of our staff are currently on furlough, so it might take a little longer than usual for us to get back to you.
Many thanks,
Nia

Winners in 1985 & 1986
after quite a few years, Vic was Captain of a great bunch of lads from Lea Hall Colliery. Some of the Teams that really impressed me over the years were
Bolsover, Grimethorpe, Markam, Parkside, Dawdon and Bilston Glen. Happy days, and it wonderful to have a reunion.
