2025/26 club person of the year was Brodie Morton.

“Nothing is ever too much to ask for Brodie. She’s one of the first to show up on club night and one of the last to leave. She keeps everyone happy and fed on the barbecue each Tuesday night. She single-handedly delivered the club’s catering to everyone on carnival day. Brodie never expects anything in return and a club spokesperson said they couldn’t think of a more deserving winner for the award.
