Award for Phil of the Yacht Club!.

Today received this from Andy Glen our Secretary.

You will know Phil if you go regularly to our club nights, he's the guy who makes sure the bar is stocked up and is always there to help out with any joint events with our clubs.

Received it from the Secretary of the yacht Club.


 Our own Phil Howarth has been honoured  by the Royal Yachting Association for his lifetime commitment as a volunteer at Etherow.

He was unable to attend the ceremony in London last Friday where he would have been presented with the award by HRH the Princess Royal.

The official programme for the event says: "Phil has been a member of Etherow Country Park Sailing Club (ECPSC) for more than 40 years and has served on the committee continuously. 

"He was involved in two major extensions to the club house; digging out the footings, constructing the internal walls and decorating and has given his free time and DIY skills to its upkeep. 

"He has worked tirelessly to ensure that novice sailors receive quality instruction and feel welcome at the club, even lending his own dinghies to others. 

"Supportive of the club’s initiatives to encourage participation and raise funds for charity, he has organised innovative events both on and off the water. 

"Phil’s consistent commitment to all aspects of ECPSC has been crucial to its success."
