The Pony Club held their annual Cubitt Awards ceremony at Stratford Manor, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire on Monday June 2nd. The annual awards are held in honour of volunteers who have given in excess of 20 years to The Pony Club, and take their name from the late Hon Guy Cubitt, who was Chairman of The Pony Club for 25 years and President from 1970 – 1979.
65 awardees were nominated for 2014, proving their incredible worth to The Pony Club with over 1300 years of combined voluntary service between them!
Mr Steven Smith and Mr Billy McCombe, who without doubt, are stalwarts of the Iveagh Branch of the The Pony Club were amongst those awarded. Neither Steven nor Billy made it to the official Award Ceremony in Stratford-upon-Avon, however they were presented with their awards by Area Representative Liz Lowry on Thursday 3rd July at Iveagh Summer Camp. Liz commended them for their commitment to The Iveagh Branch and Billy paid tribute to The Iveagh District Commissioner, stating that she is as enthusiastic now as she was when he first became involved in Pony Club 30 years ago.
