The closing date for BSAC clubs to enter the Heinke Trophy 2027 is midnight on 30 November. So, if your club is thinking of taking part in this year’s award, there’s still time to do it!
Since 1958, the Heinke Trophy has been BSAC’s premier club award, celebrating the very best in club diving and snorkelling. The award is open to all BSAC clubs, whether UK-based or overseas, diving or snorkelling (or both), small, large, well-established, or new.
“Entering the Heinke Trophy 2027 is a fantastic way to capture a ‘year in the life’ of your club - how you dive, train, recruit, and connect with your community,” Heinke adjudicator Phil Harrison explained.
“It’s also a chance to shine a spotlight on your members’ passion, innovation, and commitment – and to inspire others to follow your lead.”
The rewards
- £1,000 prize and the Heinke Trophy itself
- National recognition across BSAC’s platforms
- An opportunity to inspire the entire diving and snorkelling community
