Hall-marked 1904 and believed originally to have been a trophy of the former Guildford Cycling (& Motoring) Club (1877-1914), this trophy was presented to Charlotteville by John Foster in c.1920 and was initially awarded to the winner of the 2 miles Scratch Race.

From 1929 to 1999 it was awarded to the winning team in an Inter-Club 50 contested by members of Charlotteville CC, the Century RC and the Wessex RC, where the winning Club was the one with the lowest aggregate time of its four fastest riders.  In 2000 it was awarded to the winning team in an Inter-Club 30 held on the same basis, but was not awarded in 2001 or 2002.

Since 2003 the trophy has been presented to the winner of the main race at the Guildford Town Centre Races.
