2021 Prizegiving and Winners List

Published 08:40 on 16 Nov 2021

Club Trophies, many dating back over the Club's 71 year history, are awarded to event winners and they get to keep them for a year. Winners are also presented with one of our special "WWSC Mugs" as a permanent memento. We also present mugs to those who were runners-up with the numbers rewarded dependent on the scale of turn-out in each particular event.

After the formal business of our 2021 AGM was over, the Will Becker, standing in for Commodore Ivan Western (who was unable to attend due to Covid) presented the 2021 prizes.

The Keeley Shield

The culmination of the Prizegiving was the award of the Keeley Shield for achievement. The winner is traditionally decided by the Club's Sailing Team and is kept a closely guarded secret until the Prizegiving.

Jeremy Western revealed that this year it was being awarded to Valerie Hall in recognition of all she had done over 2021. Although this is not widely known Valerie agreed to be co-opted to help Tash Price run the Club's social programme and was faced with all sorts of challenges when venues we had planned events at became unavailable at the last moment due to Covid. When not competing in her 2000, sailing it whatever the weather and no matter how many times she capsizes, Valerie also puts her RIB-driving skills to great use as one of our most regular Safety Boat volunteers. Jeremy recalled Valerie speeding off without hesitation (and some enthusiasm!) when he asked her to get the Itchenor SC Committee Boat to move when it had anchored too close to one of our racing marks.

After the award Valerie remarked that this was in fact the second time she had won this award and having checked the records this is a unique achievement in the Shield's 27 year history. Many congratulations to Valerie!
