| WAMDSAD,
the Maidenhead-based sports club for the disabled, celebrated
a successful 2007 in sport and endeavour at their recent
Awards Dinner held at their Braywick clubhouse.
Honoured guests for the evening included
the Deputy Lieutenant of Berkshire Roderick Watson and
Mrs Watson, the Mayor and Mayoress of the Royal Borough,
Councillor Leo Walters and Mrs Walters and David Burbage,
Leader of the Council of the Borough. Also attending

who made a cheque presentation to John Jenkins, president
of WAMDSAD.
Ray Fields, Director of Sport, presided
over the proceedings and the presentation of cups and
shields to deserving members. For a further year Lucie

be outdone by mother Jennie who picked up two awards
herself. A new award, presented by SGT of Taplow, went
to Eileen Taylor for her hard work behind the scenes
in the leisure section; David Mileham received the Giles
Wallage Trophy as the disabled member who best helps
other disabled members of the club; Georgina Callingham
