Member Awards

The Robbie Inman Award Robbie was a member of Different Strokes from the club’s beginning. Her passion for the sport, energy and humour were quickly apparent. Throughout her paddling career, she inspired others to achieve their best while always demanding the same of herself. When she could no longer paddle, she maintained a strong connection and was a regular attendee at club events. Robbie and her strengths are remembered here, in this award.
