The provenance of the Boase Plate, or the Boase Quaich Plate to give it the full name as it is engraved, is not entirely clear. It is noted that Donald Black (Captain 1999 and Club member from 1945 to 2010) originally gave two salvers for a foursomes knockout. It is thought that one of the two salvers is now used as the Boase Plate trophy.

It is played for as a singles knockout competition between those who are defeated in their first match in the Boase Quaich.
