Jerry, Robin and Jane win volunteering awards in 2013
Friday the 8th November saw two rowing coaches honoured at the Cornwall Sports Awards, ran by Cornwall Sports Partnership.
Jerry Crapp, a stalwart of the gig rowing community took the first award of the night, for ‘Childrens Coach of the year’. Jerry coaches at the River Fowey Gig Club, who have a thriving junior section and has been involved with the club since its establishment in 1988. The club are well known on the circuit for the quality of their junior rowers, a tribute to Jer who spends hours on the water coaching all of the junior crews. A qualified level 2 coach, Jerry runs ‘Sportivate’ sessions each year to introduce the next generation of rowers, as well as race coxing and organising fundraising events. A quote from Jerry: ‘I was absolutely delighted to be nominated and then shortlisted and I am actually over the moon to win this prestige award and its recognition of all the hours that I put in to the sport. It was truly a fantastic evening that was well organised and would fully recommend anyone who has the chance to attend. This is reward and recognition for all the hours of hard work put into volunteering and this makes all the efforts worth while.’
Robin Mills, of Castledore Rowing Club in Golant, near Fowey took the title of ‘Under 25 coach of the year’. Castledore, a clubmarked club row in fine boats on the river Fowey, the same stretch of water as the gig club. Robin has spent over 400 voluntary hours supporting the club in all aspects, from boat maintenance, to organising coffee mornings, indoor training and countless water sessions. This hard work was rewarded when, in 2012 a crew Robin coached won a novice title at the South Coast Championships. Robin also spent his time at Southampton University volunteering for the boat club, where he also won a title of ‘Male contribution of the year’ at the Southampton Sports Awards. A quote from Robin: ‘It’s brilliant to be acknowledged for the volunteering over the past few years, it’s an honour’.

Also this month, Paignton Rowing clubs Jane Perry took the title of ‘Coach of the Year’ at the Torbay Sports Awards. Jane, who is a life member at Paignton ARC said she was surprised to win, and that the award was ‘for all of the coaches at Paignton RC’. Jane not only coaches at Paignton up to 5 days a week, but also sits on the WEARA committee, supporting the West Region. A picture of Jane can be seen here: Picture and write up
