The Keith Shield

Mike Georgeson explains a thing or two about the shield to our President, while Andrew Brzezina looks on
The Keith Shield was presented by a past member of our Circle, Ian Keith, as a trophy for an annual cricket match between Brighton and Crawley Circles. When our annual match ceased we instituted “The Crawley Circle Cricket Festival” which was a six a side competition open to all Circles in Province. Ian Keith agreed to the change and the trophy was contested up to  2001/2, when it ceased to be contested. The last winner of the Shield was East Grinstead Circle.
On our Presidential visit to East Grinstead on 21st May we were reunited with the shield after a gap of 12 years. Our intention is to organize another inter-circle competition, probably not cricket, and offer it as the prize.
