THE CLARENCE BODDIGER AWARD 2014
Discussion
Was at meeting on Sunday and award not given out to my knowledge
I would like to nominate glenrobbo for this award this year
The go car not show car
Glen just seems to be there at most meetings and gatherings and always makes me and penny smile
And is always there and has the sprit of the s clan
Like to carry on with this as to a good friends memory Ken Appleton 1961 to 2010
As Barry said was given in will try to get to hand over to this years top person
As said some will not know what the award was for
Ken was a top guy in s ownership and to carry on his memory in s ownership and what S ownership is all about
Kens S was a go car as long as it ran and got you there that was it

Here-here Tinks...seconded...
anyone who can fit a tent THAT big in the boot of a TVR and still drive with gusto must be the best nominee this year.
It didn't get awarded last year either, as it was nicely organised by the club, but other marks seem to forget that go-car is what an S is all about...

Another vote for Glen , I didn't know Ken although im sure we must have met . The award is a great idea and should be carried on .I was at Blenheim and everybody who turned up should have got an award .
I might be out of order here if so forgive me but I think S club has lost something in recent years , it would be nice if an owner or group of owners could take it over and bring it back to the more personal event it was for a few years .

My S ownership started too late to know Ken but from what I've picked up over the last few years I'm very happy to add to the list suggesting Glen be this year's holder of the trophy.
If someone can let me know who at the TVRCC took the award I'll try and see if I can get it to Glen in the not too distant.
Cheers,
Gary

Well I don't know what to say ( but I'll think of somethimg 
)
I turn my back for a little while and you're all at it trying to embarras me! :blush:
I really think the award should go to Duncan Pittaway's Sporting Trials S, which was actually Ken's old S. Ken would be proud to see it in this kind of diiiirty action.
I never knew Ken, he sadly passed away before I bought Austin, but from comments on this forum, it sounds like he was a great bloke, who always thought it was more important to be driving his S rather than be polishing it.
I thought the Clarence Boddiger ( that was Ken's PH name ) Memorial Trophy was awarded to the car not the driver, so really it should be nominations for Austin, not me.
. The boot is for the beer, which initially make Austin handle like a Porker 911*, but the more that gets consumed, the less tail-happy he becomes. ( S2 Mike, perhaps that was your problem on the Barn Farm Run? Too much beer in the boot? The Cat & Fiddle is not the best place to practise donuts! 
)
Thanks for all the kind comments.
Regards,
Glen & Austin.

Andy, the tent is actually a perfect fit in the passenger footwell, which balances out my vast bulk in the driver's seat & keeps the weight distribution just right for better handling on the twisty bits anyone who can fit a tent THAT big in the boot of a TVR and still drive with gusto must be the best nominee this year.

Noble as Duncans efforts are I think the award is all about a regularly used car. And preferably used by a regular PH contributor. glenrobbo said:

Ok,so Austin is not allowed to cover it with stickers 
I met Ken a couple of times and he helped me out once. I am sure he would have seen Glen as a very worthy recipient. My vote for Glen as well. Plus a mention in despatches for services as S Court jester?
Now, no false modest Glen, but if you do get over emotional you can always dry your eyes on that famous toilet roll!!!
