THE WILLIAM BELL MEMORIAL TROPHY

This beautiful three foot wood and gold trophy was donated to the Amateur Jousting Club by Wendell Bell, one of our old and honored members, in remembrance of his father, William Bell, who was a strong supporter of the sport of jousting. Each year this trophy is brought back to the Labor Day Tournament for another contest to decide who will be the holder for the next year. The jouster who wins this contest will have his name engraved on the side of the trophy and will receive a smaller keepsake trophy.

All members of the Amateur Jousting Club are invited to compete in the competition for this beautiful trophy. The ring size will begin at one inch in diameter and will be lowered if ties warrant such action, after two rides.

Good luck and good riding to all the jousters!!
