Sports awards add more to Hall of Fame
Key words of praise underpinned the awards evening of the Sports Campus of the College of West Anglia at Lynnsport on Wednesday.
They featured in praise for the students by staff; praise for the staff by students and praise for both by College Principal David Pomfret.
Words included exceptional; hugely beneficial; successful; outstanding; big growth; honoured; humbled; best years; great players; change your life; fantastic; vision; determination; inspiring; believing; shaping your dreams; working hard and many more.
There was a large turnout at Lynnsport for the presentation of individual and team awards; three guest speakers and two new names added to the Hall Of Fame.
The annual awards celebrated another successful year at The College of West Anglia Sports Campus recognising the great contribution of the student body.
Three ex-students of the college returned to speak about what they are doing and their experiences, while two more names were added to the Hall of Fame.
They were Dr Lee Smith, currently a research Scientist at the University of Central London, Gavin Caney sports journalist at the Eastern Daily Press at King’s Lynn, and Patrick Manifold, professional basketball player for Glasgow Rocks.
Tommy Goode, Programme Manager at the Sports Campus, said the event was “a great night which celebrated our students’ success over the last year.
“We are extremely proud of our students’ contributions to their studies and in the local community.”
He said the year had seen an exceptional performance by students and staff at the sports campus, excelling in many sports, helping disabled people and supporting charity.
Joining the CWA Sports Campus Hall of Fame this year were Gavin Caney, who is now a sports journalist, and Yaba Afful-Logotse who is now a Personal Trainer, both of whom have excelled and making their way in the world doing something they love.
