Turner Trophy for best English language club bulletin
French language club bulletin Award
|
* The cut off point between large
and small has at various times been 30 then 25 then 20. The distinction between large and small clubs was effectively removed by the 2010/2011 club bulletin judge - English. This decision was probably ratified by the district board of trustees but
the decision to do so does not seem to have been recorded. The "Turner Award" was
originally donated by Past Governor Barry Turner of the Kiwanis Club of Christchurch
(later moved to North West Christchurch). It was initially
for "New Zealand club bulletins of 4 pages and greater. The "Taylor Award" was
originally donated by Ross Taylor of the Kiwanis Club of Ashburton (who
was district bulletin editor from 1996-2003). It was originally for "New
Zealand club bulletins - computerized". The placque for the Taylor award seems to
have been lost.
** The "French language club
bulletin Award" Originally started out as the "District Award for best club bulletin",
which explains why some English language clubs are listed.
1 The 1998-1999 awards are as
recorded on the respective trophies (with the exception of the Taylor
trophy - lost). The minutes of the 1999 convention record the following
results : Best District to Takapuna, Turner to Niaouli, Taylor to
Kirikiriroa. The above table assumes that these minutes were incorrect and that
the Taylor trophy was awarded to Takapuna.
Bulletin awards for 1990-1991 : "Ruby" (clubs greater than 46 members) - Tahiti-Papeete, "Emerald" (30-45 members) - Nouméa, "Coral" (less than 30 members) - Centre Ouest. There were no placques for these awards (or at least no placques have survived). Prior to this there is no written record of any club bulletin awards but there must have been some as the Kiwanis Club of Christchurch have a patch on their club banner for "84-85 Best Club Bulletin".

The trophy was donated by two anonymous donors and named in honor of 1994-1995 Governor Clinton Green of the Kiwanis Club of Napier. It is awarded annually to the district member or group of members who have demonstrated exceptional excellence and initiative in organizing or pursuing the aims of Kiwanis in the New Zealand - South Pacific District.
The winner of the award was determined each year by the Association of Past Lt. Governors based on criteria that they select and on applications that the association solicited from Kiwanis clubs in the district. From 2017/2018, the winner of the award is determined each year by a person appointed by the district board. The adjudicator may select the such criteria for the award that they see fit within the limits of the purpose of the award and based on applications solicited and received from Kiwanis clubs in the district. The appointed adjudicator may select such other persons as he/she sees fit to assist in the judging of the winner.

This Fellowship, which may also be referred to simply as a Griffen Fellowship, has been
established (date uncertain) to commemorate the memory of John D. Griffen who was responsible for establishing the Kiwanis organisation in this part of the world and was our district's first governor.
A Griffen Fellowship may be acquired by gifting to the New Zealand - South Pacific District Foundation Trust either one amount of NZ$1000 or two payments of NZ$500 over a two year period. The donor receives a wall plaque and a neck ribbon with a medallion as pictured. A subsequent donation of NZ$1000 will earn a black pearl pin (the pearl is sourced from French Polynesia).
Clubs may purchase the John D. Griffen Fellowship Club Award. The club will receive a wall plaque and a banner patch dated the year of presentation. For subsequent donations by the same club for the “Griffen” club award, only a banner patch with the presentation date will be awarded to the club. A Griffen Fellowship Club Award may be acquired by gifting to the New Zealand - South Pacific District Foundation Trust either one amount of NZ$1000 or two payments of NZ$500 over a two year period.

The trophy was originally donated by 1981-1982 Governor Don Sayers of the Kiwanis Club of Takapuna. Nothing is recorded in district convention minutes about the donation nor about early winners. The trophy was last awarded to Jean-Baptiste Calvez of the Kiwanis Club of Mont Dore. The trophy is physically tiny and has no room to engrave further names on it. The trophy was permanently retired at the district board of trustees meeting 16/11/2013 primarily due to lack of suitible criteria upon which to base the award.

The trophy was donated to the district in 1998 by Yann Paullic "and will be presented each year to the club which has done the most for Kiwanis education" (1988 district convention minutes). After 2009, the trophy was no longer awarded. At the 5 September, 2014 district board of trustees meeting "Due to the difficulties in defining effective criteria for the annual bestowal of this trophy it was
agreed that the trophy be retired until further notice and committed to the care of the district archivist" (minutes, Item 4g).

The recognition was awarded to the "best" club in the district based on a selection of criteria which changed slightly each year. Certainly in later years and possibly from the beginning, this was an evaluation based on points being allocated for certain desirable club behaviors. The 1990-1991 winner was recorded in the 1991 district convention minutes but does not appear on the award plaque. The award was discontinued after 2007-2008 due to the heavy workload placed on the district secretary to evaluate the club monthly reports, allocate the points and tallying them to determine the winner. Note that there was no resolution passed by the district board of trustees to discontinue the award - it simply ceased being awarded. The award recognition plaque has since been committed to the care of the district archivist.
It should be noted that, beginning in the 2016/2017 year an award in the form of a banner patch was initiated to recognized clubs which turned in monthly reports (in the form of a spreadsheet) to the district secretary. As there was no trophy for this and as multiple clubs could win a patch, the results have not been listed here - please refer to the minutes of the various district conventions.
