For the past seventy one years the Rotary Club of Whitley Bay has been recognising the outstanding achievements of some of North Tyneside's Young Citizens in the community with the award of the Civic Cups.
This was recently celebrated at a special meeting of the Rotary Club at Whitley Bay Golf Club. The awards this year were presented by Councillor Gary Bell, Chairman of North Tyneside Council. Two winners were from Monkseaton High School Erin McKnight and Euan Sharp and two from Whitley Bay High School, Deejai Savage and Owen Grant.
All the winners gave a brief outline to club members and guests as to why their school had nominated them for these special awards and club President Tore Skjaerstad said, "I am delighted to welcome the staff and students from the schools and to listen about the wonderful contributions they have made to our community. It is refreshing to hear what these young people have been able to achieve, especially when we tend to hear so many negative stories these days."
Each of the students received a cash award, certificate and a cup for Young Citizen of the Year. Once presented the club was delighted to invite the students and staff for an evening meal which was rounded off with an informative speech from council chairman Cllr Gary Bell.
