2017 Nominations for Paddler of the Year |

|
Hannah Bellamy |
Dominic Fahey |
Since joining the club in 2016 Hannah has been on almost every trip
going: FSRT, SESA and white-water and
sea kayaking courses. She has also tried Canoe Polo, Murder ball, Hilbre
Race, Scotland White Water, Alpine white water, Pembroke and Anglesey
weekends, guide leader’s sessions and just about every other paddling
opportunity going. She has recently started purchasing her own fleet of boats, I think
Hannah has caught the boating bug! |
Since Dom`s first visit to the Alps, he has come on leaps and
bounds. This year he aced the “Rab
Wave”, even surfing it one occasion.
Always happy to help and one of the nicest guys you will meet. He had a major role in the development of the compound at the docks,
helps at the pool and is a regular at many club events and sessions. An inspiration to all. Keep up the good work Dom!! |

John Smullen |
Harvey Harwood |
John has immersed himself in the club this year, a keen member of the
U18 canoe polo team paddling at Liverpool and Hull. He loves the Anglesey weekends; paddling
his Machno at 4 mile and kept a cool head when his paddle snapped in some
very large surf in the rocky Porth Dafarch bay. He calmly surfed away from
the rocks using one blade. John is a
willing hand at all club sessions, nothing is ever too much trouble. |
Harvey Harwood has made huge leaps and bounds since May this year when
he finally got his roll nailed. He is fearless, taking on huge waves in any
direction. He plays Murderball whenever he can and has taken the spirit of the
game. He gets as good as he gives. |

Craig Ellingham |
Josh Cook |
Dominic Fahey |
Karl Tattum |
Craig helps to run Sunday morning sessions at the docks and helped
with the building of the compound there.
More recently he has instigated several river paddles. Nothing is ever
too much trouble. |
Josh is an excellent coach and has run several introductory and
improvers courses this year. He has also
developed and coached the junior canoe polo team and runs the Wednesday
evening polo sessions. |
Dominic is an inspiration for all.
He helps run the Monday pool sessions, maintains all the boats stored
there and contributed greatly to the construction of the compound at the
docks. Always a willing hand and
involved in everything to do with Liverpool Canoe Club. |
Karl is an active surf paddler and puts almost weekly surf sessions on
at Crosby Beach. He hosts Thursday night Murderball and always encourages
people to give it a go. |
2017 Nominations for Swimmer of the Year |
|
Helen Siertsema |
Helen has been a stalwart of
the club for many years and is a very experienced Alpine paddler. This year she had several “out of boat
experiences” but must hold the record for one of the longest swims seen on
the Durance; from the Embrun wave to the get out, about 1km downstream. Well it was warm and we had just paddled
39km that day. |
