Special Awards |
This award was established in memory of Shannon Riggs who passed away on the 23rd July 1997. Shannon was a member of the club and played in one of our teams in SABA competition. The award is given annually to a member of the Glenelg Badminton Club (with preference given to juniors) who, in the opinion of the committee, in consultation with the Riggs family, deserves special recognition for their efforts and achievements in badminton. The award is presented at the club’s AGM, in the form of a perpetual trophy. This award is to recognise the recipient’s commitment to achieving their best, with consideration for those around them, and as a tribute to Shannon’s positive impact on people.
