Derek Denne Trophy

 Awarded annually for the best shark of the season by a Member resident in Devon

This was first mentioned in the committee meeting minutes of the 27^th June 1967 when Mr Denne raised the subject of a trophy for Devon. The following meeting on the 25^th July 1967 records that the decision on the Devon Trophy should be postponed until the winter.  At the 16^th December 1967 committee meeting Derek Denne asked the committee to accept his offer of a trophy to the Club for the heaviest shark caught by a Member resident in Devon in the season. This was proposed by Derek Denne, seconded by Mr G Nancollas and carried unanimously. The trophy was first included in the listing in the 1968 Rule Book. At a committee meeting on the 22^nd March 1968 it was agreed that the club would have the trophy inscribed.
