After the last Matric Exam in 1977, a small group of students ventured back to Mrs. Pratt's residence at Hove to celebrate the "end of School" with a few longnecks of Southwark Lager. After a few quiet ales, we were reminded that there was still one more official School function to attend - the Valedictory Dinner at the Boarding House that evening! Too late to sober up… and too late to stop drinking, we proceeded to dress once again into the 'grey suit' and were dropped off at the Boarding House.
During the dinner (and obviously due to the intake of Southwark), one of the group 'borrowed' this sugar bowl as a souvenir of his time at Westminster. Twenty-one years later, in a desperate act to clear his conscience, the sugar bowl has at last been returned, albeit as the basis of this trophy.
