Best Junior – Junior Shield |
Kieran Lewis |
This is awarded to a junior member who, in the opinion of the committee, has shown great skill in sailing and commitment to the club in general. He started sailing about four years ago although he had been a regular visitor before this. He took full advantage of the junior sailing courses on offer at the club. He has continued to develop with a lot of support grandad. As well as a regular competitor in club racing he has developed the skill and confidence to be taking part in open meetings this year at Brennig, Bala & Pwlleli. In addition to sailing skills his pleasant and cheerful personality has endeared him to other club members and he continues to show an eagerness to be helpful in many other ways such as work parties and helping others to recover dinghies on race days. He is interested in everything going on, keen to be involved and always has a big smile on his face. |

Best Newcomer – Catherine Jelfs Plate |
Simon & July Dolman |
Awarded annually to the most promising newcomer or novice goes this year to two people who joined the club this season. Having had no real experience of sailing they completed the RYA Level 1&2 course with great determination and immediately started to show an interest in club activities. Almost immediately they purchased a quite challenging dinghy and are now beginning to race. |

Club Person of the Year |
Chris Harris |
This is awarded each year to a person who we believe has made an outstanding contribution to the club in ways not necessarily racing prowess. This year’s winner has been a member for about 4 years and is seen regularly at the club at all the different activities going on. In addition to attending work parties this person has helped at open days, has shown a caring attitude to Shotwick Lake Sailing in highlighting local issues which may impact on the club. With regards sailing, he seems to be ever present, recently started crewing in races and has enjoyed sailing very regularly on midweek afternoons where he has become an unofficial organizer, encouraging and cajoling others to enjoy leisure sailing and helping to ensure they are informed when people will be sailing. He has proved that sailing can be enjoyed on a budget with his various do-it-yourself bits of kit and has certainly been a friend to many. |
