This Evening, Friday evening 8th April 2022, the club organised an awards evening and a raffle at the Carmarthen Athletic Rugby Club in Johnstown. More than 100 people gathered in the clubhouse and the event was hosted by Edward Morgan and Jake Morgan.
The Ivy Bush Hotel in the heart of Carmarthen Town Centre has been the host venue of the Club Dinner & Awards Evening for several years. In 2018, the club's 70th year was celebrated with a special dinner.
Following a year of little activity in 2020 because of the COVID pandemic, there were more opportunities to represent the club during the track and field, road and cross country season in 2021 once restrictions eased.
Categories for athletes, volunteers and coaches included Junior Bursary, Welsh Champion & International, Team Champions, Top 10 UK, Top 10 Wales, Club Record, Outstanding Club Contribution, Young Volunteer, Ernie Jones Memorial Award for best International representation and the RB Evans Club Service Award.
There were 33 top 10 performances in Wales last year, as well as six top 10 in the UK and 20 Welsh champions and internationals on the track, road and cross country.
Presenting the awards were club coaches Neil Thomas, David Toogood, Cressy Morgan, Carol Jones and Jane Batten, club Chairman Jake Morgan and Great Britain International athlete, Ben Thomas.
In addition to our usual Carmarthen Harriers club awards and thanks to a remarkable gesture from Dr Hedydd Davies, 2 bursaries of £250 were awarded for the second successive year. These were for junior athletes showing potential and where assistance in training and travel expenses could support their continuing success in the sport.
Thank you to everyone who attended on Friday evening to celebrate the club successes over recent months and well done to all those who received an award. We look forward to the next club dinner where more individuals, volunteers and teams will be recognised for their contributions and success in 2022.
