U.B.U
Shield
The Shield was presented to the Club in
1998 by Mr Webzell, formally Managing Director of WRANGLER UK.
As
he had all the contacts that Wrangler had been using, he decided to create his
own Company selling Jeans and Accessories of a similar quality to those of
Wrangler, but at a lower price.
He traded for a
number of years and we as retailers sold a large quantity of his ranges,
particularly his jeans
where he
specialised in large sizes up to 50 waist Jeans. He had many different tops which
sold well,

The Shield has not been contested every
year since it was presented to us but nevertheless it has been won by some of
todays top riders such as Alexz Wigg, and Matthew Timperley,

We
have lost touch with Mr Webzell and are unsure of his whereabouts but we
believe he moved to America to take another
position with Wrangler Jeans
