Each year, the Club awards a number of trophies to members who have distinguished themselves in one way or another. Some of the trophies have a long history and some distinguished past recipients. Diving trophies may be presented at the AGM in April or at the Christmas Dinner. Photographic trophies are presented at the in-branch photo competition that is organised annually (when possible).
