The Young Athlete’s Awards took place on Sunday 20th November
at The Great Hall, Bromley Civic Centre. Over 240 athletes, parents, club
officials, coaches and other guests, including special guest Julian Golding, one
of the clubs most successful ever athletes gathered together to celebrate
another hugely successful season. The U13/U15 teams Kent Young Athlete
Champions, finish 2nd in the Southern Premier Division of the YDL and 3rd in the
National Final. Our U17/U20 Teams won their League and the YDL Final with the
Junior Women's Team going on to claim 2nd place in the European Junior Clubs
Final in Spain.
Our individual athletes also achieved fantastic
performances with 23 club records being broken in the 2016 season, our athletes
also achieved numerous Excellence, Colours and Merit awards as a result of
winning national, area and county champs, some breaking league records and
winning medals in multiple events in the same championships. Large numbers of
our athletes were picked to represent Kent and other counties during the season,
a sign of the strength in depth that we have in some events.
The event itself was a big success, Master of Ceremonies
Dick Griffin kicked off proceedings followed by the President Bill Foster who
introduced Julian, he gave an inspiring talk that was enjoyed by the audience.
After the awards everyone enjoyed the party afterwards, the disco and photo
booth proved to be popular and is a format we might follow in the future.
Special thanks to everyone who contributed to a successful evening, especially
to the Parents Council and other parents who assisted with the serving of food
and drinks during the evening.
