Scores of Burnham-On-Sea people who suffer from various disabilities received awards during Burnham and Highbridge Gateway Club’s annual presentation night on Thursday (July 27th).
The event, which included a barbecue, was held at the recently revamped BAY Centre in Cassis Close.
More than 60 people gathered to watch Burnham-On-Sea Rotary Club’s Alan Lovell and the Gateway Club’s Chairman, Arthur Thorogood, hand out ten awards.
The Endeavour Shield, for outstanding achievement, was presented to Brian Fox-Smith, while the award for fundraising went to Stuart Robertson.
Table tennis award winners were Matt Josling, Margaret Davis and Michelle Dyer, while snooker awards were handed to John Hathaway and Michelle Carlisle, and the dominoes winners were Sue Turner, Stephen Loader and Rosie Vigar.
“Our presentation night is held every year at this time and shines the light on those who have achieved so much during the last 12 months,” said Gateway Club chairman Arthur Thorogood. “It was a super evening.”
Burnham and Highbridge Gateway Club has been running for 27 years and is open to anyone with disabilities. It meets every Thursday from 7.30-9.30pm. Volunteers to help the organisation are also required.
