The Awards - 2006 [2005] [2004] [2003]

Awards presented to club members at our annual presentation night held on Saturday February 3rd 2007.

Awards are presented to paddlers of all ages and abilities for outstanding performances during the course of the year. Some performances, efforts and demonstrations of skill are genuinely acknowledged. There are some occasions of note where paddlers would prefer to forget their not-so-outstanding performance, so it is the committee's duty to publicly acknowledge these occasions and drag the skeletons out of the cupboard!

This year's winner : Not awarded.
