The Fish Award

Mike ‘Fish’ Jeanmaire was Chairman of the CDG for thirty years. Following his death in November 2010 the Fish Award was created. This is awarded annually to a member who has made a significant contribution to the CDG. Whilst the nature of the contribution is not precisely defined, the guiding principle is that the individual should have served the CDG rather than any other organisation or themselves.
