Captain of the Bluff Cup Team
The Captain of the Bluff Cup Team is awarded to a person who shows a commitment to their team as a leader and debater and is therefore awarded the honorary title of "Captain' of the Honorary Bluff Team. The Prize was resurrected in 2011 as a formal honour by, then Vice President, Paul Hunt and has been awarded sporadically before then. 2019 - Anna Roberts 2018 -Andre Castaing 2016 - Grace Belworthy 2015 - Emily Moore 2014 - Courtney Cunningham 2013 - Joe Ascroft 2012 - Jamie Tocher 2011 - John Brinsley-Pirie Pre-history period: 2010 - Matt Lynch 2005 - Max Johns 2004 - Holly Walker 2003 - Simon Peart 2002 - Holly Walker 2001 - Keri Mills 2000 - Ben Hamlin 1999 - Chris Curran 1998 - Chris Curran 1997 - Andi Pannell 1996 - Tim Smith 1995 - Neil Anderson 1994 - Neil Anderson 1993 - Pauline Larooy 1991 - Tony Freeman 1990 - James Palmer 1989 - Tim Mulgan |
