AWSA Annual Meetings & Cocktail Party

By 25 October 2024No Comments

Yesterday, we held a full day of events at London’s Cavalry & Guards Club, gathering the Army Winter Sports Association community for our annual updates and celebrations!

We kicked off with the Discipline Secretaries Meeting, followed by the Management Board Meeting, and finished with our AGM (with an online option for members) before celebrating together at the Cocktail Party.

A special thanks to our three athletes who shared their inspiring journeys in winter sports: Cpl Oscar Wiseman (Nordic), SSgt Todd Hayes (Snowboarding), and Cpl Katherine Wood (Alpine). Hearing about their dedication and achievements was a highlight of the evening.

We were also honoured to award the President’s Certificate for Outstanding Service to two exceptional individuals:

WO2 Graham Holmes for his tireless and selfless contributions to Army Ice Sports; his work has been the essential glue of our Ice Sports community.

Helen Kirkland, whose positive spirit, skill, and guiding expertise have strengthened the Redcoat team through countless challenges and successes.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors, whose support makes it possible for servicemen and women to experience the world of winter sports. Thank you for helping us make these life-changing opportunities a reality!
