Trip Awards from the 2004 - 2005 Season

In the past, on the bus-ride home from each trip, awards were presented to everyone who came on the trip.

Last year we didn't have a single awards ceremony! And the year before that, they didn't happen much.

The awards are in danger of going away.
However, maybe they should go away...

I personally think the awards are a lot of fun and I always really enjoyed them.

Ultimately, it's up to YOU - the club members. If you want to continue having the awards, fight for them!
