Please type the name of the club member you would like to nominate (See their profile below):

Steve Bond - Steve is always available to help and encourage anyone into the sport, especially newcomers. He has run numerous sessions through-out the summer at both the docks and the pool. He is very active on both sea trips and white water paddling and ventured out to the Alps with the club this year.
Dominic Buckley – During the two weeks in the Alps Dominic`s confidence and therefore general paddling seemed to improve considerably. He was one of the few to have successfully paddled through the Rabioux Wave rolling in the bottom on the way through.

Graham Devaney – Nomiated for achieving his goal of paddling a grade 5 this year in the Alps (several sections of the middle Guil). He thought this goal was years away but has progressed rapidly thanks to Liverpool CC.

Brian Green - he has not only achieved a lot in terms of mileage and variety of sea trips over the year but he has also been instrumental in getting a couple of novices on the water in some challenging conditions. He’s also given up his time to act as safety support and coordinated a number of swimming events (Liverpool and London Triathlon and the cross Mersey Swim).
Alex Hunter – Having finished her GCSE examinations in the summer Alex joined us for the two weeks club trip to the Durance region of the French Alps. She paddled with confidence and style on all but the hardest runs and was often found leading one of the groups down the many rapids.
Chris Turner – Actively pushes Open boat paddling in the club and has run numerous trips over the years. This years club expedition to the Nemegosenda and Chapleau rivers in Northern Canada was all his doing. Chris planned, coordinated and led the hardest trip I have ever been on.
