Society Awards
Every year we award those who have gone above and beyond for our society, whether they have been with us short term, or for more years than we can count. So much work goes into keeping the charity strong and providing our high quality shows we have become well-known for! We couldn't do it without our countless volunteers who give so generously.
The Eve Cooper Award
Eve Cooper was one of TADLOP's most crucial founding members. The Eve Cooper Award is awarded every year to a member of TADLOP deemed to have gone above and beyond in their contribution to the society over a sustained period of time. ​

The Grandad Award
In memorial of Raymond Howard (or Grandad Hiller as our members knew him). Raymond was a non-member always supported TADLOP and it felt fitting to name this award after him. The Grandad award is presented to either a member or non-member who has gone above and beyond in the last year and has contributed to our most recent shows. Whether that be on stage or behind the scenes.​

The Glennis Mansell Award
Glennis Mansell was one of our very early members who continued to support the society for numerous decades. This award is presented to individuals who have contributed significantly to TADLOP over the years and may have been overlooked. Instead of focussing on our current membership, this award allows us to thank of alumni. The winner for this award is decided by a Jury of our Life Members.​
