Club Drunk Award

The 'Club Drunk' award is far from the most prestigious award at the club, however, over recent years it has become a integral practice to present it. The winner of the award does not necessarily have to be a 24/7 drinker but instead has to have done something incredibly dumb, silly, crazy or just plain idiotic whilst under the influence of alcohol. Not to say that a couple of the past winners did not need much persuading to have a schooner or two at ridiculous times of the morning.

During the end of season presentation night persons are nominated by their peers for the award. Once all the nominees have had their actions explained, it then comes down to a majority vote, from all present who are interested in casting their vote. Once chosen the new (or past in some cases) 'Club Drunk' receives the 'spew bucket' which they keep hold of for one year - until the next presentation night. They also receive a 'Golden Stubby' that they get to keep for the rest of their drinking years.

History of the 'Spew Bucket'

The bucket was obtained by one Jeremy Butler at a Mr Tim Whites 21st birthday party held at the Cahoots bar at Bobby Mgee's. The bucket was originally used as a business card drop but upon its relocation to Tuggeranong became a most noted trophy in the old '11th Hole' of Greenway. In 1998 the 11th Hole donated the trophy to TUFC to be used as the 'Club Drunks Spew Bucket' & its inaugural year it was won by an underage Steve Oxford.

Here are a few comments from past winners, who wish to remain anonymous but unfortunately have not had their wish granted.

From A.P. (2002 and 2004 winner and club legend)

My exploits were:
For 2002
On presentation night in 2001, I received the Players player award. Upon receiving it, I walked straight pass Paul Smith, went to the podium, swayed a little bit (from intoxication) and when everyone was cheering (or abusing me) muttered the words "shut the F*** up" and walked off.
At Oktoberfest, spilling beer on the table, and sucking the beer up (without a straw). The other things were always being out with the boys and having a few drinks.

For 2004
Most notably for...
Scene - Southern Cross Club - Tuggeranong - Corders had fallen off his chair, and spilt burbon on the wall near one of the big plazma screens. I then offered to lick the Burbon off the wall - while Catherine was looking at me with "yes, that's my boyfriend, and HE'S all mine"
Again, drinking with the guys, and having a good time.

Api's description of the award - "I believe the award is given to people who do not make idiots of themselves, and who are not violent. Warner is the exception".
