2016 Nominations for Volunteer of the Year (Club member who has given their services to help the club)

Dominic Fahey	Steven Bond	Karl Tattum & Paul Harwood	Colin Muse
Dominic is one of those guys who just get stuck in and helps where ever they can. He has volunteered to look after club equipment at Kingsway pool and helps out on courses and club sessions.	Steve Bond has almost singlehandedly run the junior club both at Broadgreen pool and every Tuesday at the Docks in the summer. He also helps to repair much of the club equipment and is always willing to guide and look after those new to the club.	They have run kayak polo for kids large and small and frequent surfing sessions at Crosby throughout the year.	Colin has helped out on every introductory course held this year. He finally completed his Level 1 coach this summer which has been well overdue as he must have been the most experienced, non-qualified coach in the club.
