2020 Sam Kelly Memorial Award

Anna Fisher

The Commodore advised that the General Committee unanimously agreed that the award should go to Ms Anna Fisher for her commitment to the Club. Ms Fisher has made an exceptionally strong contribution to the club over many years performing at the highest levels in both sailing and rowing. In the past year, she has also dedicated herself to organising multiple events and training sessions whilst helping new and experienced members get the most from the Club. She had also signed up to help coach part-time at the Club over the summer months this year but unfortunately Covid-19 interfered with those plans. Ms Fisher started rowing in 2010 and sculling in 2011. She then started full-time sailing in 2017. The Commodore mentioned that the list of Anna’s experience in both rowing and sailing was too long to read out. Ms Fisher also served on the Fine Rowing Sub-Committee as Women’s Coordinator from 2019 to 2020 and is currently serving on the Young Members Committee. She has been an umpire for rowing events since 2011, and was one of the organisers of the Hong Kong Henley / Club Championship 2020. She was also the first woman to row solo the Around the Island Race completing the race in a single scull on 15 November 2020. The award was then presented to Ms Anna Fisher.
