The Elephant itself is a rather ugly sculpture discovered in the possession of ancient nomadic hill tribes by veteran Beamer Dave 'Indiana' Nicholls. It was brought back to the UK in the early 1980's when despite remarkable ambivalence from the V&A the Beamers recognised this unassumming statue to have extraordinary powers. Once the 'Elephant' is placed on the mantelpiece of the winner that person is endowed with supernatural powers, they do not age, youth springs eternal, they are as virile as Oscar the dog (maybe more), when they smile Beamerworld smiles with them, and money magically disappears from their pockets to be exchanged for beers.Presented at the Annual Dinner every year, the Elephant is a potent symbol of Beamerness. It is our all, our everything and more. The Elephant is not awarded for ability on the field, simply for making Beamerworld a better place. It now has a beautiful new coat, made by emma Mitchell, to keep it warm.
