Presentation of Prizes 2013 -
Posted: Sat Nov 30, 2013 8:28 pm
Once again the Stormont Hotel in Belfast provided the setting for the Annual Dinner Dance and Presentation of Prizes for the Irish National Flying Club. Like last year the weather was very kind to us as members and friends from right across Ireland gathered for this very special night.
Chairman David Black welcomed the special guests for the night, Anthony McDonnell and Sid Collins Sid is a life time vice President of the Irish National Flying Club while Anthony won the King’s Cup from Les Sables in 1963.
The Chairman asked for a minutes silence for all members of the club who had passed away during the year and made a special mention of the late James Maguire of the Grosvenor club who was a trophy winner this year.
The President Eugene Fitzgerald proposed a toast to the Patron Ronnie Johnston before the Chairman introduced the top table, Secretary Trevor Topping, Treasurer Davy Mawhinney, and their wives, President Eugene Fitzgerald, Special guests, Sid Collins, and Anthony and Lally McDonnell. David thanked Ronnie Johnston and his wife Alice for organising the event and for all the work they do in gathering the trophies in and preparing them for the night. He congratulated all the prizewinners especially the King’s Cup winner, Ron Williamson. David went on to thank all our sponsors, all the committee members and all the non committee members who help out at race marking and clock centres. He made a special tribute to secretary Trevor Topping and his family for all their hard work throughout the year and praised Tom Marshall and Willie Hore who work alongside him on the liberation team. The Chairman thanked the convoyer Jim McCrory and Ollie Gittens of Bude who is a big help with weather forecasts in that area.
Sid Collins said that it was an honour and a privilege to be asked to present the prizes as a former President of the INFC. Anthony McDonnell thanked the committee for inviting him to present prizes on the 50th anniversary of winning the King’s Cup. He said that he first joined the Flying Club in 1959 and the first bird he sent to the King’s Cup took 8 days to get home. He recalled that in 1960 he congratulated Larry Burns on winning the King’s Cup and when he handled the Cup he thought that would be the closest he would get to it. He told of how the pigeons were transported to the race then and how it was 12 days after the race before he knew that he had won the King’s Cup. Before proceeding to the prize distribution the Chairman congratulated Anthony and Lally on their 50th wedding anniversary as they got married just a few days after the King’s Cup win.
Mr Ronnie Johnston, Patron of the Irish National Flying Club was then called upon to act as MC for the Presentation of Prizes. Ronnie provided us with a wealth of knowledge on the various winners and of the history of the prizes, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed as he kept the crowd engrossed throughout the presentation.
As is customary with the Irish National Flying Club, the first prize to be presented was the Kings Cup by the previous year’s winner, G O’Reilly & Son Malahide. This year’s winner Ron Williamson Bondhill was greeted with a standing ovation.
