ROYDS Trophy
The Royds Trophy was reintroduced in season 2002 after it had been sitting in a cupboard at the IPA for several years. It was originally donated by Nicholas Royds who had founded the Royds Advertising Agency and was a member of the society. It is played for annually as a knock out four-ball better ball competition. Teams are made up of members of the society ideally from the same agency but if not possible then simply by finding a member to partner you.
The final is always in October and can be contested over 36 holes if agreed by both pairs, otherwise it is 18.
