JUDY CROUCHER MEMORIAL AWARD FOR CHOREOGRAPHY
The Judy Croucher Memorial Award recognises effort, enthusiasm and diligence in learning and performing the movement and choreography of a particular show. It is not always awarded to the best dancer, but rather the performer who has worked the hardest and improved the most - as determined by the choreographer.

MAX RUDDOCK MEMORIAL ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD
The MR is awarded by the director to the cast member they believe has made the biggest contribution to the general life and operation of the show. This is not a performance award, and therefore does not have to be awarded to a leading player. This award has often gone to a newcomer to the society who has show enthusiasm and general positivity to the process.
Maxwell (Max) Stanley Ruddock (2 January 1914 – 31 May 1976) was a New South Wales politician, Assistant Treasurer and Minister of the Crown. He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for 14 years from 3 March 1962 until his resignation on 25 May 1976 for the Liberal Party of Australia
