History: for several years, this event was a five-sided Inter-County Team competition (Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire): when Avon and Gloucestershire were moved into the South-West region, they were included in the contest. In recent years it has been a combination of Inter-Club, Inter-County and Individual competition.

• The 2025-26 event will be held on Saturday January 3rd, at RNAS Merryfield (near Ilton, Somerset). The Entry Form can be found Here.
