On Saturday the 20th of May, Trigg Island SLSC hosted their Annual Awards of Excellence, giving members the opportunity to swap bathers and sunscreen, for dresses and suits.
An annual event, looked forward to by many, it was a time to celebrate one another, the club’s successes, and the support received from our sponsors and stakeholders, throughout the 2022/2023 season. The club rooms were transformed, with the red carpet rolled out, the photo wall set up, and the tables decked with glistening centerpieces.
