WELSH ATHLETICS AWARDS NIGHT.
Several North Wales athletes and officials celebrated at the Welsh Athletics awards night this week.
Kay Hatton from the N.W.R.A.C said: “It was a successful evening at the WA wards, and congratulations to John Mussum - WA Coach of the Year, and to Menai Track & Field - WA Club of the Year; and to St Asaph City Striders, who were awarded Run Wales Group of the Year.
“At the WA AGM earlier in the day Bernie Jones was appointed WA President, and Ann Lewis and Sharon Wyn Owen will receive the WA Meritorious Award. Well-deserved and well done to everyone.”
The new President Bernie Jones later confirmed: 'Proud and humbled to be made President of Welsh Athletics yesterday receiving the chain from the outgoing President and great friend, Graham Finlayson. Thank you to Graham and to Hedydd Davies and Kay Hatton for the nomination.
'I have been in the sport for over 50 years as a competitor, team manager, administrator, official, volunteer and I still love it as much as when I found I had a little bit of endurance talent at 14 years old.
'I have received many honours and much recognition throughout my time in the sport but this tops it all. I have represented my country on many occasions as an athlete and team manager but to do so in future as President is very humbling. I hope I can do everyone and my sport proud.'
