Convenor of TMC, Ray Howe introduced a new annual award called the MEFTY AWARD (Most Events For The Year). This award is in the spirit of The Millennium Club's mandate - to acknowledge and honour outstanding participation in Melbourne Park & Street orienteering and will be presented annually to the Melbourne street orienteer who completes the most Street-O events in a Melbourne Street-O year.
Retrospective acknowledgement was paid to 10 previous winners (2000 - 2009) before Barry Giles presented the trophy to the 2010 winner - Josie Yeatman, who completed 136 events in the last Street-O year.The trophy was the creative woodcraft of Vic Sedunary.
The previous MEFTY winners were Peter Kempster (2000, 2001), Geoff Hudson (2002), Judy Hopkins (2003), Reg Saunders (2004), Mike Hubbert (2005, 2008) and Ken O'Brien (2006, 2007, 2009).
The night concluded with the presentation of the answers to the Street-O Champagne Challenge Competition which included Street-O map recognition, armchair short course tasks and identifying the 7 MEFTY winners. The coveted champagne prize was awarded to Ian Greenwood with 56 points with an uncertain "young gun" Andrew Baker being runner-up with a final score of 55 points.
