John
Sharman's widow Olga was
on hand to make the
presentation of the
Club's inaugural JOHN
SHARMAN QUIET ACHIEVER
AWARD and commented that
she was very grateful
for the opportunity to
present the inaugural
award to John Clayton. |
|
|
|
Mrs
Sharman commented ... |
|
|
|
"It
is important to
recognise the
contributions of quiet
achievers like
John, who often make significant difference
to the success of small
groups such as this
club. I
can’t tell you how
touched and honoured I
am to be asked to do
this by Lindsay on
behalf of the club. That
John has been remembered
this way means a lot to
us and to his family in
England
who wish they could be
here too." |
|
|
|
"He
was passionate
about gliding and took
every opportunity he
could to come up here.
For John, whatever
he did for the club was
not a chore.
He really enjoyed
doing it. While he
was a humble
man who liked to quietly
get on with the job, I'm
sure he would have been
very chuffed to be
associated with this
award. It
means so much to us that
he has received
recognition by the club
he really loved and the
people whose company he
so enjoyed". |
|
|
|
"I’d
like to say a big thank
you to Lindsay and the
Committee for
remembering John in
this way and also a
big congratulations to
John Clayton for
receiving this well
deserved award". |
|
|
|
The
John Sharman Quite
Achiever Award has been
introduced by the CGC
Committee to recognise
individual members who,
like John Sharman,
continually contribute
to the running of the
Club without seeking
recognition or praise. |
