These awards were begun in 2005 by the late Michael Marriott, a former President of the club and a local headmaster. Students from local High Schools, Academies and Colleges are able to participate annually in interviews and presentations before panels of Rotarians to find the best students in: Drama; Music and Dance; Art; Photography; Design; Food Technology; Public Speaking; Sport; and Science. The awards are presented at an evening dinner. The event is organised by Malcolm Berridge.
