Yes this really is THE trophy for the snooker tournament being played out at the crucible in Sheffield at the moment! Sadly my name won't be on it - I just got to hold it. I found myself unable to re-enter the theatre after a 'comfort break' as the frame had already started so I was watching on a screen in the bar. A BBC rep asked if I would be prepared to do an interview to be screened on TV during the final weekend, and I said OK. After answering a few questions they brought out the trophy dating back to 1927 with all the winners names engraved on it. I couldn't believe this was the real thing but they assured me it was. He then offered to take my photo with my phone. I don't hold out much hope that they will screen the interview as I expect they will pick out the best of a number of interviews over the two weeks of the tournament. However, it was quite an exciting moment!
Great photo of you Judith
