Stowmarket Strider of The Year
This award is voted by the members of the club. Voting for your male and female Strider of the Year can be based on a number of factors:-
- Who you think has ran their hearts out during the past year.
- Who you think has worked hardest on behalf of the club.
- Who you think has represented the club best.
- Who you think has entertained us best.
- Who you think has been more than just a Strider member.
- Who you think deserves the grand title of Strider of the Year.
Voting starts a few weeks before the Christmas Party, usually mid-November, and ends on the night of the Christmas Party. The Chairman will then count the votes and announce the winner on the night.
The Male Strider receives for the following year the 'George Leggett Cup', a pewter cup in memory of a club member, George Leggett, who died before his time in 2004.
The Ladies Strider of the year receives a Irish Crystal glass bowl.
