On June 19th our club coach Mark Scott attended the Mix 96 Local Heroes awards held at Halton House near Wendover. Mark was nominated for the Sports Person of the Year award by one of our junior players, Ella.
Having been shortlisted, Mark with his date for the evening Ella (chaperoned by her mum Annabel) were invited to a very posh awards ceremony!
I’m sure the whole of the Renrukan will join us in congratulating Mark on his runner up award. As Mark said this week, he is absolutely thrilled to be nominated by Ella.
Mark was also delighted to be nominated for the Inspirational Teacher Award by another of our talented junior judokas, Ted.
These nominations and the runner up award are thoroughly deserved and are a reflection of how highly the people Mark coaches regard him.
As these photos show, Mark had to swap a Black Belt for a Black Tie!

Well done Mark!

Lee fought and gained GOLD, winning all of his 4 fights in fantastic style and with a standard of judo etiquette that I have never seen in my judo lifetime. Only once have I witnessed such quality and that was at a world masters in Ireland by a Brazilian player. He took 2 golds. But that player was a world master! Lee is 11 years old and took high praises from the referees and many of the top ranking officials. ‘Where did that all come from?’ was one the comments from the ref. I smiled and said, ‘I’ll pass that on’.
