The Hammer Circle Awards
Since its formation in 1952, The Hammer Circle has been acquiring cups and trophies for annual awards to its members. Although females had started to attend The Hammer Circle reunions from 1990 it was not until the AGM of 1995 that the decision was taken to purchase and award trophies to match the male throwers.
