The requirements for each award are as follows:
Jim Cairns Best Club person
Otherwise known as the volunteer of the year, this award is reserved for a club member who goes above and beyond for the club during the season. Usually seeking minimal recognition, but supporting the club in a way that we could not do without.

The recipient of this award cannot be a committee member, life member, or previous winner.

Like the Jim Cairns best club person, this award recognises a person under the age of 18 who volunteers and support the club. This award exists to reflect the great service of a young person giving back to the club in a big way.
