Challenge Trophies
Most Challenge Trophies are valuable and irreplaceable. The
holder is responsible for them whilst in his possession and for their
return at the appropriate time in a clean and fit condition for
presentation, and with any necessary engraving correctly executed.
The cost of engraving of National Trophies can be reimbursed on application
to the GNAS Secretary.
