Sydney Uni Archery's First University Blue?

[Flehrad]

Robert Talbot has successfully met the criteria required to obtain a University Blue. I attended the committee meeting and answered their questions regarding his contribution to the club and to the university.

So far, the feedback looks good, and we will hear tomorrow sometime if he has been awarded the Blue.

If so, he will be the first archer at Sydney Uni to receive the award since the club started in the 1970's.

~fingers crossed~

Nice work Rob!
Hope you get it.

According to the information, he has passed the preliminary process ok, and they will officially notify him by Letter this coming week, so it's an unofficial status that Rob has indeed received the award.

A Univeristy Blue is an award given for outstanding excellence in a particular field. The criteria is determined by agreement of the club and the sporting body of the university, and the applications are placed before a board of Blues trustees and a majority decision is required for someone to be awarded the Blue.

A University Gold is an award given for outstanding service in a club, with a seperate criteria regarding duration of seruvice and roles etc.

So far, we haven't had a Gold award either.

I am writing to congratulate you on being awarded a Sydney University Sporting Blue which was approved by the Blues Committee at its meeting on 13 October 2005.

Further details will be sent to you by post including details of the dinner and rsvp form etc.

Regards
Jenny
