When the group disbanded in 1982, it was discovered that, regrettably, the Junior Cup had been lost; but the Senior Cup was recovered and subsequently transferred to The Young Theatre at Beaconsfield where, in 1987, it became the Carys Tyer Memorial Cup for Members aged 14 or under.

It is believed that this Trophy was not awarded between 1978 & 1982.
When The Young Theatre (Harrow) closed in 1982, the trophy was handed back to Kay, who subsequently agreed that it should be transferred to Beaconsfield and used as the Senior Cup. It was first presented in September 1988 for the 1987/88 Season.
