| The Carys Tyer Memorial CupAwarded, for outstanding commitment, to the Member aged 14 or under contributing most to the overall activities of The Young Theatre during the season. Two trophies were presented in 1964 to The St.Alban's Junior Drama Group (North Harrow) - later to become The Young Theatre at Harrow - by Ian R.Wallace in memory of Carys Tyer, killed in a car accident in December 1963 aged 16. Carys had worked closely with Ian in planning the setting up of the original Drama Group. When The Young Theatre (Harrow) closed in 1982, both the trophies went missing. Subsequently one of them was recovered, and this was then transferred to Beaconsfield as the Junior Cup. First presented in September 1988 for the 1987-8 Season. Unfortunately this cup was lost in 2007. To replace it, a new cup was purchased by Ian R. Wallace in 2009. The winner of the Carys Tyer Memorial Cup is decided as a result of voting by the membership on nominations by the Executive Committee/Council. All the nominees receive a certificate acknowledging their nomination and these, together with the trophies, are presented by the Group's President at the AGM. |

| The Young Theatre Cup for Theatrical Achievement |
(The Artistic Director's Award)
Since 1997 this has been presented in memory of Michael Wiseman
Awarded to the individual, or team, or group, for significant theatrical achievement during the season.
This Cup was originally presented by Mark Britton in 1989 for the overall winners of the first “open” Burnham Trophy competition involving five outside groups. It was won by The Young Theatre with its production of A Circle of Seasons. As there was no Burnham Trophy competition in the following season, it was agreed by Mark that this Cup should in future be awarded to an individual, or group, for the most significant theatrical achievement of the season.
The decision as to who should receive this trophy is to be entirely that of the Artistic Director of The Young Theatre. The announcement of the those considered, the winner(s) and the presentation of the Cup is made at the AGM.
In 1997 - after the death of the group's Vice-President, Michael Wiseman, it was decided that in future this trophy would be presented in memory of Michael Wiseman.
