Dickhead of the year

This award was first awarded in 1991 and is awarded to the club member who does something so stupid and so dumb it allows everyone to call them a "dickhead". In remembrance of their actions they are given a trophy that looks a lot like a penis and testicles. Thus, for a year they are remembered by their actions!

Nominations are requested every year and the committee chose a new recipient, with the current dickhead passing the "log of wood" on to a fellow dickhead for safe keeping…

Check out the Hall of Shame for all the losers who have won the club's most "prestigious" award!
