In 1998 it was decided that the White Horse CWC would give a Trophy 
to the Club’s Most Popular Band. Each person in the hall is asked to 
give their opinion of the band on stage that night by giving 
their votes between 0 to 10.
This is added together and divided by the number of people who 
have voted! It works out fair to the bands that way, rather 
than just adding the votes together, which would mean that 
if a band played on a busy night, they would win regardless 
if the crowd liked them or not!

The winner is announced at the AGM every year. 

The winners so far have been:
