    In essence cups were not awarded at the Open or Classic Majors although these two tournaments started in 1994 and 1996 respectively.

    The first trophy or cup, to be awarded was the SBS Masters Shield in 1997 and until 2006 when Craig Downes won the tournament, for the third time this was awarded year on year. However, as a joke before the 2006 Masters Alan Newell promised that if Craig won for the 3rd time he got to keep it, for ever, like the football World cup. When he did win it Alan had to arrange for a cup to be awarded in future and paid for all previous winners to be emblazoned on it.  
In future no one gets to keep cups, for this reason although they do get to take them home.

    A trophy of a golfer swinging a club was awarded at Little Lakes to Alan Newell for the Invitational in 1998. For some unknown reason, the club bit, went missing before the 2002 Invitational and Ricky Muddimer was awarded the Trophy club less. Every winner of the Invitational is engraved on the base.

    In 1999 shortly after Stuart Hayward died the Classic received its cup, when the Society members clubbed together to buy the Stuart Hayward cup, which was first won by Steve Crowe. Again Little Lakes hosted the tournament. The Classic had been running since 1996 and therefore the first 3 winners were not engraved on it.

    The final cup was for the Open. In 2000 the Management of the Staffordshire Building Society sanctioned the purchase of the cup, to be awarded at The Shropshire. Paul Chafer won it but every previous winner of the Open was also engraved.
