Brian Holt Memorial Trophy

This unique and prestigious award is presented annually to the member seen by his fellow curlers as our most outstanding member each year.

First awarded in 1975, in memory of Brian Holt, who was himself a most outstanding member of our club, it was personally presented that year and for many after, by the Holt Family.

Brian, who succumbed to cancer in 1974 as a young man, had a great love of curling, and was a true sportsman who contributed both his time and effort to the game.  These qualities have become the criteria upon which this memorial is awarded.

The award continues to recognize Brian’s legacy through the contribution of each recipient we honour.
