SCA Recognition Award Winners 2019 - Willing Hands Quaich
People are at the heart of paddling in Scotland and SCA tries to recognise this in part through the Annual Recognition Awards. We all know someone who puts in that bit extra, goes beyond their normal duties, stays later, always seems to be available, always happy to help.
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners in 2019, and on behalf of the paddlesport community a big THANK YOU for all that you do.
Willing Hands Quaich: This award recognises outstanding service to our sport and who acts in a voluntary capacity making a significant contribution to the sport.
Winner: Robert Wands
“Robert started the Clyde Scouts Paddlesports Club at Pinkston since when it first opened. With limited funds he found kit to start up the group and get young people on the water. There are now more than 30 different young people every Tuesday night enjoy paddlesports. He has also mentored and enabled adult volunteers to improve and develop their own paddling to help provide sessions with the club and beyond.”
Spaces are available to book for the All Ability session at the 2024 Scottish Women's Paddle Symposium, which will take place 17-19 May 2024 at Glenmore Lodge in Aviemore.
