Chairman’s Special Award Trophy

The inception of the Chairman’s Special Award Trophy by Michael Lawler, Chairman at the time.

” It all started at the Goose Fair at Walesby Scout  Camp Site on Friday 3rd October 1997.  A few Norfolk and Suffolk D.A. members sat outside Chris and Isobel Orris’ caravan enjoying an evening drink. Chris got out of his chair to go to the toilet and tripped over a guy rope from the toilet tent and  accused  his wife Isobel of pushing him.

Although not true Eric Rose thought it was hilarious and said he would make a Trophy to be presented at the Norfolk and Suffolk D.A. Agm to the member who had done the most stupid act whilst camping during the year.”

After great discussion it was decided to accept his kind offer of a Trophy, but it would be given to a person or couple who the Chairman felt had contributed most or gone the extra mile during NSDA events.

The Trophy is presented annually at the DA Agm,along with a free ticket to our Dinner Dance .
