François Ménard Versatility Award
Since 2017, the versatility prize has been associated with a special Trophy which aims to recall the memory of Mr. François Ménard. The club wanted to highlight the excellent work of promoting the Barbet that Mr. Ménard has done for several years.
The first plaque of the trophy bears the names of François Ménard and GCH. Neigenuveaux's Gambit CD RAE CGN RPT. This trophy is perpetually kept at the Club and the recipient of the annual award receives a plaque attached to the trophy.
