Dear Goanet members,
I would like to take this opportunity to recognise Dave Futers and the
outstanding work he does in helping schools and school teachers in Goa. Dave
is also involved in other community work.
Last Thursday at a luncheon at the Commonwealth Institute in London Dave was
presented with a Community Award for the work he does in helping youngsters
and especially youngsters from deprived communities to engage in sailing as
a sport and as a means of engaging with other like minded others.
The awards presented by the Royal Yachting Association were announced by
them as the MBEs of the sailing community and Rod Carr the RYA Chief
Executive commented "The RYA Community Award winners are essentially
ambassadors for the thousands of people whose continual contribution makes
the sport of sailing great to be proud of."
The award its self is a certificate personally signed by the Princess Royal
together with a medallion inscribed with the recipients name.
During the day award winners were also introduced to Princess Royal at a
reception.
Dave, we're proud to have you as a Goanet member and a pleasure. We greatly
value your work. Keep it up!
Three cheers for Dave!
- Herman
on behalf of the Goanet admin team
