HUNT FOR THE MISSING TROPHY !

We have presently lost track of the Patrick Rosebowl, won by Alex Glennie at Blairgowrie last September. 
After engraving work, it was delivered to Kilmarnock Barassie G.C. in November after our AGM at Cowglen. 
However then the trail goes cold, even though it is a sizeable trophy in a large brown cardboard box. There is also a voucher for Alex attached or in the box. 
If anyone can shed any light on its whereabouts, we would be most grateful.
