Not all Societies expect the winner to pay.
By the same token not many winners expect the Society to pay.
Regardless of who actually owns the history of any trophy, there is no finer accolade than having your name engraved amongst some of the best ploughmen who ever lived. It is there for posterity.
Worth the cost of a couple of pints any day of the week, plough your heart out only to leave the trophy because you are too tight to have it engraved, I've just about heard it all, it's surprising the amount of competitors who look at cups etc on the trophy table to see who has won them in the past, hopefully when I'm fertilising Tong Norton Farm, ( being burnt and having ashes applied by GPS to my farmed area ) the silverware or chrome plated with my name on it will live on !
