At the 2008 AGM, CA President Bernard Neal presented a CA Council Medal, its most prestigious award, to Derek Trotman who retired from Council.

Derek served on Council from 1992 to 2008 and was the "Father of the House". During that time he made a major contribution by chairing at least three of the Principal Committees: Development, Publishing and Tournament, and always tried to ensure that high standards of administration have been maintained.

In earlier years, he was heavily involved in the administration of hockey, and brought his experience of that to the Council table. In addition to his contribution nationally, he has been heavily involved with Croquet North and the Tyneside Club.
