Qualifying dates for annual trophy and Fellowship plaques. Many members will know that the qualifying dates for these has been AGM to AGM, which is confusing for everyone involved. The committee has taken the decision to bring this in line with everything else in the Centre, to help for future job roles, so for the 2024 awards all rallies attended from post AGM 2023 to end December 2024 will qualify. The awards for 2025 will be from January-December 2025 rallies attended. This has made no difference to the order obtained for those in line for the Don Alcock Annual overall trophy – we made sure to check this first. Fellowship plaques will be automatically awarded – qualifying number shortly to be decided by committee. J Dobson, Centre Secretary
