These were held yesterday in Aberaeron to recognise sporting\u00a0achievements across Ceredigion. Billed as the &#8216;International Awards Presentation&#8217; there were 23 people being presented with awards.<\/p>\n<p>Anna and I decided to make a day of it. It was our wedding anniversary earlier in the week and we usually go out for a day to celebrate it so thought we&#8217;d combine the two. After breakfast at home and dropping Morgan off at school we headed into Aberaeron where we went to the Harbour Master for brunch. A delicious couple of pieces of toast, poached eggs and some tasty Talsarn bacon. We then wandered around Aberaeron for a bit, first around the harbour and onto the beach, then in through the town where we browsed through the shops, and then across into the park where there was a small craft fair.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13868 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Anna.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Anna-120x89.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Anna in Aberaeron\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Anna-120x89.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Anna-550x411.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Anna.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13870'>\n\t\t\t\tAnna in Aberaeron\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/harbourmaster.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"84\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/harbourmaster-120x84.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The Harbour Master\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/harbourmaster-120x84.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/harbourmaster-550x388.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/harbourmaster.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13871'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Harbour Master\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/beach.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/beach-120x89.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Aberaeron Beach\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/beach-120x89.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/beach-550x410.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/beach.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13888'>\n\t\t\t\tAberaeron Beach\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>We then stopped off for some elevenses in the form of tea and scones before getting changed and heading around to the council\u00a0buildings. Anna had an excuse to wear a dress and I put on my Team-GB kit ready for the presentations<\/p>\n<p>Before the awards we were all led into the council chambers where we were shown some video and had a few opening addresses by various dignitaries. There were then various other awards for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Talented Juniors<\/li>\n<li>Cerdigion Sports coach of the Year<\/li>\n<li>Dragon Sport Volunteer Award<\/li>\n<li>5&#215;60 Young Persons Volunteer Award<\/li>\n<li>Disability Sport Wales Volunteer Award<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All went quite quickly really with just short presentations and the occasional video clip to watch.<\/p>\n<p>Next up was the presentation of the Insport Sward to Ceredigion itself, before they moved on to the International Awards. I wasn&#8217;t the only one there from the INTR Triathlon Club as Sharon, Graham and Andrea also competed in New Zealand for Team-GB last year. It was quite nice though as each person was introduced along with a little background to their sporting career. I can&#8217;t remember exactly what they said about me but they mentioned that I only started triathlon a few years ago and that I was 2nd Brit home in Auckland which qualified me for the 2013 World Champs in London. They also\u00a0mentioned\u00a0the fact that I had recently competed in the European Championships in Turkey where I won the Gold Medal for Team-GB.<\/p>\n<p>I clambered over the guide dog belonging to a talented young skier that had decided to have a snooze at my feet and went up to shake hands and accept my award. I was presented with a &#8216;Wales International&#8217; polo shirt, a certificate and a \u00a340 cheque.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-13868 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ceremony.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ceremony-120x90.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"International Awards Ceremony\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-13872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ceremony-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ceremony-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ceremony.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-13872'>\n\t\t\t\tInternational Awards Ceremony\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/shirt_cert.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/shirt_cert-120x90.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"T-shirt and Certificate\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-13873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/shirt_cert-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/shirt_cert-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/shirt_cert.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-13873'>\n\t\t\t\tT-shirt and Certificate\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Andrea\u00a0was next up, followed by Graham and Sharon who were presented with their awards together.
