His mother, Lady Madeline Robinson formally of South Africa and London, made this memorial trophy available so that future generations of forty year old skiers can gain pleasure competing for the cup. Sir Albert and Lady Robinson, visited Australia in February 2003. They kindly invited all the Trophy winners and their partners to join them for dinner at the Alexander Club where the evening was certainly enjoyed by all.
