A small and somewhat uninspiring wooden trophy:

 

It was played for when only 3 of the members were present and

could be played for as often as required in any given year.

The format of the competition was decided by the members on the day,

but if agreement could not be reached, the choice of the highest ranking member would prevail.
 

The winner ‘engraved’ the trophy himself, using the time-honoured method of painting-it-with-Tippex.
 

As this was not a trophy contested by the full membership, the results were not recorded in the Society’s Roll Of Honour and so past winners could only be ascertained by referral to the Block itself - that is until May 2008 when that year's Chair, Mr Dewhirst, took it upon himself to assume that the trophy was surplus to requirements and inexplicably threw it away in a moment of temporary madness. This brazen and totally unconstitutional decision to destroy a Society trophy, just because it had remained unloved and un-contested on his mantlepiece for the previous decade, quite simply stunned the membership.

However, Mr Dewhirst subsequently unearthed a trophy never actually awarded to anyone in the Society - given that it was to be surreptitiously slipped to a member unlucky enough to be without a single trophy (or share of one) after a Tour. The 2004 revolution rendered the aptly-named 'Barren' obselete, and as such, this sparkling silver salver has replaced 'Block' as the prize when only three members meet.
