Club Championships
Kendal ASC has a long history of Club Championships and Club Galas which dates back over 120 years. There are several races in these galas which have a trophy dedicated to that race. Some of the trophies date back to the 1950’s. Winners of these events will have their very own space in Kendal ASC history by having their name engraved on the trophy and keeping that trophy for 12 months.
