Awards for 2003


Sydney Striders Annual Awards

Striders has two Awards Events for each year. The first is the traditional Brunch in December of each year where awards for that year that have been decided are made. The second is held in the second quarter of the following year for those awards that require consideration of performances across the entire year.

The club's annual Awards brunch at Middle Harbour Yacht Club in December 2003 was full to overflowing for the first of the 2003 Awards Presentations.

The balance of the Annual Awards for 2003 were made at the mid year Pasta and Awards night on May 21st, just before the SMH Half. The special guest speaker was Dick Telford. They are listed here.

Why the delay? The following awards are based on performances during the calendar year. Many Striders fail to mention their performances until they renew in late January. By the time renewals are processed, and the number collated it is March, and then a suitable night must be found that doens't clash with holidays, Easter and various races. Hence, May.


Congratulations to all those who received awards for their achievements during 2003.
