The Tom Groom Trophy Denis Pye explains the background to the Tom Groom Trophy in Fellowship is Life “A Tom Groom Memorial Fund was started in 1946 to provide an inscribed plaque at Golders Green where his funeral took place, and also a silver trophy. The latter was completed in 1949 at a cost of £120. It is in the form of a globe, which spins, and is engraved with geographical accuracy. The arm which stretches around the sphere to hold its axes carries the words: “Socialism, the Hope of the World.” The Trophy is awarded annually to the Section which has, in the words of the Rule, “given the most meritorious service to the National Club”. Leicester Section was the first to receive it in 1949.”
