For the past seventy six years the Rotary Club of Whitley Bay has been recognising the outstanding achievements of some of North Tyneside's young people with the award of their Civic Cups.
This was recently celebrated at a special ‘Civic Cups Evening’ at the Whitley Bay Golf Club. The awards this year were presented by the Chairman of North Tyneside Council, Councillor Tommy Mulvenna. There were two winners from each school: Monkseaton High School, Joe Walker-Hardwick & Lauren Scobie and from Whitley Bay High School, Hannah Stradling and Flyn Mathews.
All the winners outlined to club members and guests why their school had nominated them for these special awards and club President Terry Took said, "I am delighted to welcome the staff and students from both schools and to listen about their contributions to our community. I am amazed at the variety and enthusiasm of all these young people here tonight."
The students were nominated as they had individually helped in a local Food Bank; became a Pageant starlet; supported a fellow school friend who had developed a brain tumour; become a team member with the Tiny Lives Unit in Newcastle which supports families with premature babies; became an official Life Guard for the summer season at Blyth and continued to help out with the training programme through the winter months.
President Terry added that, "We have all witnessed a positive reflection of what many young people are doing in their spare time and it is so encouraging to note how they are making a positive contribution to their community and also a reflection on the schools they represent here tonight."
Each of the students received a cash award, certificate and an engraved cup. After the presentation the staff and students stayed for an evening meal which was followed by a few kind words from the Chair of North Tyneside Council, Cllr. Tommy Mulvenna.
