Athlete Of The Year 2022

Kevin Dillon

The club is once again to make an award to one member of the ladies’ senior section and one member of the men’s senior section who is considered to be the outstanding athlete of the year, following the popularity of previous years’ awards. This will take the form of a tankard and, in order to make a representative choice, I am asking all members of the senior section to vote for the member they consider deserves the award most.

The choice does not necessarily have to be a club champion. Factors worthy of consideration would include a substantial improvement over the year, an outstanding result in a particular meeting, or you may like to consider a contribution to the coaching side of the club or a member who has represented the club in a manner deserving of recognition.

You can vote online here

Awards will be made at the Christmas Handicaps on Sunday 18th December and nominations will be accepted on the day.

Alternatively, you can send your nominations to Kevin Dillon

Or let Debbie Beresford know your nominations.
