SRC Expression of Thanks to Cathy Wynne

During the National Sprint Regatta on Saturday 5th June 2023, the Sprint Racing Committee offered a token of their appreciation to Cathy Wynne, a long serving volunteer at the heart of the sprint racing community.

The Sprint Racing Committee would like to express their deepest gratitude to Cathy Wynne for her tenure as Secretary of the committee over 18 years.  Cathy’s contribution to the Sprint Racing Committee has been enormous, and it is of utmost importance that we recognise the efforts of the volunteers that give up so much of their time and energy to develop and improve our sport.

Aside from being a member of the Sprint Racing Committee, Cathy has been qualified as an International Canoe Federation technical official for over 20 years, and has been assisting the running of British Canoeing national regattas in a variety of roles for over 25 years. Cathy’s eminence in the canoeing community, not just nationally but internationally, is testament to the skills and expertise she has amassed through years of dedication to canoeing.  Cathy will continue to serve on the Regatta Committee, overseeing the organisation of National Regattas, and will also continue her work as an International Technical Official for the ICF, officiating at major sprint competitions worldwide.

Phil Miles was appointed as Secretary to the SRC in November 2022 when Cathy stood down. He can be contacted via canoesprint.secretary@vol.britishcanoeing.org.uk
