2015 Noel Croucher Award

Noel Croucher Award for Sailing - Leon Chan

On behalf of the Club, the Commodore congratulated Mr Leon Chan who had been nominated to receive the Noel Croucher Award 2015 for his truly exceptional contribution to sailing.

The Commodore advised that Mr Chan had served the Club for many years, serving on Sailing Committee from 1995-1999, Sponsorship & PR Committee 1997-1998, Marine Sub-committee 2001-2002, Finance Committee 2002-2004, Taiwan Strait Race Committee chairman 2012, Membership Matters Working Group 2009-2010, Membership Matters Sub-committee 2010-2015. Particularly close to Leon’s heart was Membership Committee, of which he had been an elected member and served from 1996-1999, 2001-2003, 2009-2015 and Chairman from 2011 to 2014. The members greatly appreciated Mr Chan’s efforts in safeguarding the future of the Club as an active sports club, with members admitted on the basis of proven activity in the core activities of sailing and rowing.

The Commodore further added that Mr Chan had always been an active sailing member himself and had been a member of a long line of Tipsy syndicates, participating in both local and offshore racing, most recently on Tipsy Easy. As part of that programme, Mr Chan had always been an advocate of encouraging young sailors from the local community to join the crew and develop their sailing abilities, with the longer term ambition of having them join the Club.

The Commodore invited Mr Chan to receive the Noel Croucher Award for his outstanding contribution to sailing.
