The James Cup is awarded for the fastest handicapped ride in the last club "10" of the season. The rules of the competition state that only riders who have not previously won another trophy during this current season are eligable to compete for the cup.

The James Cup was presented by Whiteman Bros., trade agents for the James Cycle Works, in 1923.

The Fildes Cup, which is puzzlingly also engraved with the title "James Cup", was presented to the club in 1953 by the daughter of C H Fildes, who won the James Cup in 1926, 1929, 1935 and 1943.

We imagine that the Fields Cup was awarded to C H Fields in recognition of his first three wins so that the original James Cup could stay in the club as a permanent award.
