The Samantha Morris Memorial Trophy 2024 Nominations

awarded for the

Belper Marlin Club Member of the Year

This trophy was presented to the Club by Jane & John Morris in memory of their daughter Samantha (SAMMY) who tragically lost her young life in a motoring accident in 1989.

Sammy had devoted many years of her life to Belper Marlin without ever gaining many top honours in the sport, however she always gave 100% for the Club & was helping teach the young swimmers at the time of the accident.

Jane & John expressed a wish that the trophy should be awarded annually to the BELPER MARLIN CLUB MEMBER OF THE YEAR, a person who has represented the Club in a similar manner to Sammy. This does not have to be a swimmer but could be a coach, committee member or someone who has represented the Club in any shape or form over many years.
