VETERANS’ PLATE

VETERANS’ PLATE


The 'Veteran's Plate' was a handicap event at the Annual Geelong College School Sports for Old Collegians and was first known to have been awarded in 1899. In 1914, it was won by ‘Dr Potts’ (Norman McArthur) who wrote a number of reminiscences in Pegasus. In 1915, the Veterans’ Plate was a sprint race of 75 yards. In 1928 it was a handicapped race. The award was last listed in 1936 and in common with the other Old Collegian sports events had disappeared by 1939.
