Rewarded for �Exceptional� Driving
I was awarded the �Wilf Duckett Memorial Cup� in 1880 for the best driving record (no accidents in one year) as well as the cup which has been engraved with my name, I was also given �10 cash reward
The trophy was displayed in the Telegram Delivery Room on the L.G. Deck of Birmingham P.LS.O
The cup was presented for the first time this year it was donated by the family of Mr Wilf Duckett who was a former Inspector of Messenger Boys at the Birmingham sorting office who died a year earlier before he was due to retire
The trophy was to be awarded annually, with a small cash prize, to the best Junior Postman driver with the best accident free record
Assistant Head Postmaster Mr Ian Dakin awarded me the trophy who said �it is not easy to drive around Birmingham for a year without having the odd bump or scratch�
I was 20years old at the time and was a Birmingham based driver for Expresspost
