Younger riders are encouraged to race by the Juvenile Championship trophy, a handsome shield presented to the club by Bob Short and Ray Doodey in 1970. The winner is given a small shield as a permanent souvenir, called the Ernest Payne plaque.

Ernie Payne joined the club in 1903 and was Olympic Champion in 1908. After his death in 1961 his widow donated a sum of money each year to pay for the plaque.
