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!
We came dangerously close to having awards!! But Mimi vetoed the idea so...
No Wolf Creek awards for this season...
No awards for the Purg trip since we had fun with the White Elephant game instead.
