The Rodney Award is presented each year to a member of the Cumberland Gang Show who has given 110% effort. The winner is chosen from 10 members nominated throughout the show.
The award is a perpetual trophy honouring the memory of Rodney Milton who tragically passed away in 1998. Rodney was a longstanding member of Gang Show and a great friend to all those who knew him.
The trophy, along with a plaque which is kept by each winner, has been provided by Rodney's parents, Jim and Val Milton, and his sister Norma.
