THREE members of Redesmere Sailing Club received Community Awards from HRH the Princess Royal, President of the RYA, at a ceremony in London.

Peter Baldwin received a Lifetime Commitment award for club development training and junior development.

Andy Millington received an Outstanding Contribution award for club training and organising junior racing in the North West.

Tim Lowe received a Youth award for his involvement with training and numerous other club activities, and a total of 57 awards were presented.

All the winners enjoyed a celebratory lunch in the presence of HRH the Princess Royal, and were presented with commemorative medallions and certificates.

HRH the Princess Royal said: “It is really important to make volunteers feel valued for what they do.”

Redesmere Sailing Club is a family-orientated club which offers sailing for all.

Activities range from teaching new members to sail through to competitive racing on Wednesday evenings (May to August) and Sundays from mid-March to mid-December.

The club is an RYA Training Centre and Volvo Champion Club.

It owns a range of boats for beginners to learn to sail in, which minimises the initial cost.
