Over the years I've often thought I'd quite to see a "Special Acehievement Award", as Percy said, one that could possibly be awarded a person, a group of people, or maybe even 2-3 different people/groups in the same year, but perhaps not awarded again for another few years if nobody achieves anything "special". Just something random that could be considered every 12 months, so as to be able to recognise somebody that achieves something out of the ordinary that is not really covered by any of the other regular categories.

That thought went some way to being fixed this year with one brand new category, the "Innovation of the Year", but their could arguably be room for this award annually AS WELL AS that mentioned above.

The Awards night has a budget obviously, so the organisers do need to know how much everything is going to cost out at well in advance. That requires the number of trophies needing to be made to be pretty well be set in stone a reasonable way out too, which makes it pretty difficult to go down the "in most years I'd expect multiple recipients for each award" path too. Mind you, there's ways around most thnigs.........

What a grand thought ,finally some one has woken up to the fact that this sport contains more folk than just the same centre stage activity ,year in and year out ..
The cost is irrelevant, and the recipient could be sitting at home thinking of carbon tax like winning lotto a special prize ..
