We're planning to hold our annual presentation night at Mowden Rugby club during the latter part of January, last years event was an outstanding success and probably one of the best we've had. Sarah Beadle and Ian Hammond are currently making all the necessary arrangements for this event and it won't be too long before tickets go on sale (the room holds approximately 120 so don't miss out)
 
As usual we'd like to call on you, the clubs member to play a major part in helping to decide the names that will be engraved on to each of the trophies awarded that evening, to that end I've attached a list of award categories and to help you identify into which category an individual fits another list showing current Quakers RC members with along side their name the category that they are in.
 
We would appreciate it if you could find time over the next few weeks to reflect on the past twelve months and think about those who have impressed you the most, this doesn't necessarily mean that they have to have been regular front runners or winners, their attitude to training, a marked improvement shown or contribution to the club etc. are things to be considered as equally as important when making your nominations.
 
All votes received will count and will be collated in an effort to identify worthy recipients, obviously the clubs coaches also have a role to play in this process and will endeavour to ensure that no one who has achieved this year is overlooked (we do have members from outside of our immediate area who can't make training nights but do turn out in club colours on a regular basis and that we only ever see at races) 
I'd appreciate it if your forms could be returned to me in early January (either electronically or by hand) this will help us to get all of the required engraving done prior to the event.
 
Many thanks for your assistance in anticipation.
