The John Queripel Cup (3-2-1)

John Queripel joined the Club at the end of the 1988 season and died in July 1993.
He packed a lot of bowling into that time and also became assistant secretary.
​
​In 1994, in his memory, his wife Jean presented the John Queripel Cup which was played for annually against his former club Huntingdon, over two legs, an outdoor match at Chesham and an indoor match at Huntingdon until 2001. 

Since 2002, the cup has been awarded to the winners of the annual 3- 2- 1 tournament held on August bank holiday Monday, a competition which John had been instrumental in setting up in 1992.

​Monday 31st August 2026
This is a full-day fundraising event for our club charity, with a £5 entrance fee.
