Following the club’s success in October this year, in the Derbyshire Dales “Club of the Year” award, Carsington Sailing Club was nominated for an award at County level. On Friday 13 November the club was represented at an award ceremony at Pride Park Football Stadium, at which the club came runner up in the “Derby County Football Club, Club of the Year Award”.

The club faced strong competition from two other nominees;  Colin Deaton Table Tennis Club and Derby Athletic Club who like Carsington were heavily involved with bringing sport to young people in the county.

The award nominees were selected from a short list of nine clubs in total, all of whom had been regional winners in the “Club of the Year” category.

Derbyshire Sports Awards, in which there are fourteen award categories are now firmly established as part of Derbyshire’s sporting calendar. Councillor Clive Moesby said in his welcoming address, “2008/09 has once again been a great year for sport in Derbyshire. Tonight is an ideal opportunity to congratulate the performers on their successes and to properly recognise the invaluable contribution of all coaches and administrators who are the backbone of sport in Derbyshire”.

This is a great achievement for our club and one we should all be very proud of. Please look out for the Trophy which was presented to the club and will be proudly displayed in the clubs trophy cabinet.
