Scruffy Award

This award is a light-hearted award given to a member who has, through a meritorious act of outrageous or incompetent behaviour at the Annual Scientific Meeting, demonstrated that even the most hard-working, brilliant and productive members of the Society are still human and can still cause us all to find humour in one another's company.

The winner has the honour of guardianship of the Scruffy shirt and tie until the next Annual Scientific Meeting. Nominations are made during the Annual Scientific Meeting.
