The only honours lists we have on our website are Captains and Professionals in the club history section. We have honours boards aplenty in the clubhouse and I am proud to be on one of them - they are of a similar ‘gold lettering on wood‘ nature as shown.

As a member of a members club, getting that little bit of recognition was important to me as, when I joined, that simple mention would capture my membership of the club in perpetuity. And for me as unimportant as the comp won might be in the eyes of some (it was the Winter singles K/O so actually not insignificant) I frankly don’t care - it’s important to me.
Pretty much sums it up for me. We don't have an online honours board on our website but traditional wooden ones in the clubhouse. I'm on a couple of them as competition winner and, whilst in the big wide world it's inconsequential, I'm still really pleased to have mine up there.
It's an interesting thought about an online honours board. It's not something I've really thought about. We don't have one and I'm not sure if there would be a benefit to it. We're coming up to our Centenary so it could be something to be suggested.

Likewise don’t see much benefit in having honours boards on the website. That said I do enjoy scanning over one or a few of a clubs boards when ever I visit a club to play. Just find it interesting looking for common names, maybe father and son, and for particularly successful members...not quite sure why though.

Unfortunately I never got my name on an EastRen board - as an associate member for my time there I wasn’t able to play any of the board comps. Pity.

We don’t have anything on line. Sadly, the boards have gone from the bar and languish in a corridor. We do have some books by the trophy cabinet listing the trophies with a bit about the history and with the winners roster.
