Sometimes there are people within the Register who deserve the recognition that is not covered by one of the other categories. The Special Awards are devised to do just that and are in the gift of the Chairman who can choose the recipient directly or from the list of nominations. The trophies themselves vary from year to year and are recorded permanently on this website only (rather than on a permanent trophy plaque).
