As the London Group was now in a process of disbanding and with several of the exmembers joining the new groups of Redbridge and Harrow, I suggested to the late Mr. Dolley's son that the money (from the sale of Mr. Dolleys veneers and equipment) should be used to provide a memorial cup for marquetry and I used Alf Murtell's idea that it should be competed for by the Redbridge and Harrow groups annually. The cup to be called the Walter Dolley memorial cup for marquetry. A salver to be offered to the non group members of the society to be competed for at the National Exhibition also annually and bearing the title the Walter Dolley Memorial Salver for Marquetry. I have discussed this with Mr. J. Moxey the non group secretary and as a result suggest that the Salver may only be won once by any non group member of the society.
