Bernard “Bunny” Howell and his brother Ken started riding with West Surrey CTC in 1927.
In 1973, returning from a Thursday Nighters’ ride to Laleham, Bernard was run down by a drunken driver near St. Peters Hospital and died immediately, his two companions escaping with minor injuries. The culprit later returned to the spot, was arrested and, some months later, was sentenced. In his memory a silver tankard was bought but it was agreed not to award it for any specific purpose but to decide on its allocation each year.
