At Stratford upon Avon Boat Club’s Annual General Meeting, the Club recognised the great contribution that some of their members made to the Club by awarding the special Felix Awards, a legacy from the Club’s past President Felix Badcock who gave so much to the club: the tankard trophies were won by Felix Badcock during his long career rowing and over engraved with the winner’s name and award. There were awards for the Junior and the Senior Personality of the Year
The Senior Felix Award went to Colin Bell who has put in hours and hours of unpaid time for the Club coaching both Juniors and Masters squads, launch driving and general maintenance around the Club
The Junior Felix Award went to Katie Welstead for her all round contribution on and off the water: Katie was put forward for the award because of her cheerfulness and help that she gives to all at the Club
The awards were presented by Dawson Curnock, the Club’s Chairman
