The Achievement of the Year competition seeks to recognise achievement by a group during the year. It can be a person, a tower,
a group of towers or indeed a branch. Each branch may enter more than once, producing a presentation of up to 500 words on the chosen theme;
which may include web links but not pictures. The competition is normally decided by votes at the annual Branch Officers' Meeting in February or March.
The winner is presented with the Bliss Trophy and the runner up with the Littldean and Purton Trophy at the Association AGM the following April. All entries are published on this website. The full rules are available
