Every year, at the annual winter breakfast, one lucky club member is awarded the prestigious "Loo Loo of the Year" award. The trophy, which takes the form of a loo seat lovingly engraved with the names of past winners, is awarded to the candidate whose actions on a club trip are voted most senseless, ill-advised, imprudent, thoughtless, injudicious, rash, irresponsible, reckless, heedless or even downright stupid. Of course, the stories of the candidates' actions are often somewhat embroidered in the telling -- facts are never allowed to get in the way of a good tale. Indeed, they are usually rather irrelevant.
