We have booked the Valle D’Oro Italian Restaurant in Newbury for our annual Oscar Award Evening. It has good quality food and is both friendly and welcoming, plus there is a really good selection of dishes to choose from.
After the meal we will have our traditional awards. During the Award evening we present awards and prizes for any amusing/ interesting things that have happened during the previous year’s trips (2019). In order for this to happen I really need to receive nominations from members and if possible any details which I can use on the evening.
Here is a list of previous awards but if you have any other ideas they are most welcome:
- Reach for the Stars – highest altitude reached by a club member during the year, not necessarily on a club trip
- Gordon Ramsay – for culinary excellence
- No Fixed Abode – person(s) attending the most trips in the year
- Boy Scout/Girl Guide – for being prepared in the hills & saving the day through gear, gadgets or knowledge
- Golden Underpants – for a scary/dumb incident
- Saint Bernard – for saving the day not through gear & gadgets
- ‘Wish you were here’ – best trip (you can nominate 1st, 2nd, and 3rd)
- 5 Star Award – best accommodation
- Mountain Achievement – for someone who has made personal progress
