Each year, on a Sunday shortly after taking up their new roles, the four Section Captains participate in a ‘drive-in’. The rules vary a little year-by-year but it generally involves members guessing (for a fee) some combination of the distance covered one or more or the Captains. Profits go to that year’s charity(ies).
The Drive-in is followed by the Wooden Spoon match. Once again, format varies, but it is essentially ladies vs men with the loser being awarded the Wooden Spoon Trophy for the next 12 months,
