FLOPPYs
The FLOPPYs were a joke awards started in 2006 in response to the dreadfulness of the YUMAs that year. They were created by Matthew Tole and Sarah Leese the new and outgoing Station Directors at the time. They were named the FLOPPYs because that was the best they could come up for prizes. After some discussion, it became an acronym: For the Love Of the People and Programmes of YSTV.
The point of the FLOPPYs is to give every active member at least one award.
2006
In 2006, the FLOPPYs were held on the steps of York Minster, after the YSTV End of Term Meal. They were presented by Matthew Tole and Sarah Leese who had spent an afternoon coming up with the awards, nominations and winners!
