THE WELLS BOWL

The Wells Bowl was presented to the International 210 Association by C. Gregory Wells in July 1948.  The trophy is to be placed in competition in an open regatta each year by a duly chartered fleet at the discretion of the President with the approval of the Governing Board.  By custom, the winning fleet was to receive priority.  In 1963 it was agreed that the trophy would be raced for alternatively in the East and Mid West in contra alternation with the Graves Plaque.
