Friday 12th March Guild Hall Preston

The committee and a selection of the managers of Ripon Reds JFC attended the Preston Sports Forum Annual Awards dinner at the Guild Hall in Preston.  We received nominations for Club of the year and two nominations for Volunteer of the year, one of which had been shortlisted to final three.

The event was attended by many sporting clubs in the Preston area including Preston Swimming Club, Preston Pirates BMX Club and Fishwick Rangers.  The guest speaker was the Olympic 400 metre Bronze medalist from the 2000 Sydney games Kathryn Merry.  She provided an insight into the sacrifices and sheer determination needed to achieve success.

We are delighted to announce that Jackie Hall our club secretary received a highly commended award in the Volunteer of the year award for all her hard work and commitment to our club over the last year.  I’m sure you will join me in crongratulating Jackie on her award and thanking her for all her work.

 Saturday 27th February 2010
 
Thankfully the weather was with for the Ripon Reds sponsored walk and FA Charter Standard presentation on the 27th February.  I was pleased to see a fantastic turnout from all the teams and their respective managers and parents.  The boys comfortably completed 5 laps of Moor Park in the allocated time and were treated to lunch afterwards with a visit from PNE’s Barry Nicholson.  All the teams received a signed team photo and were given the opportunity to have a question and answer session with Barry before he had to leave to attend the game. 
All the boys were impecably behaved on the walk to PNE and again throughout the FA Charter Standard presentation.  A good result for PNE finished off a great day for Ripon Reds where all the teams can be proud of their fund raising efforts and representation of the club.  Dont forget that the hard work now comes with the money collection!
