Prize Giving at the Trials
Prize Giving at the Trials
Following the IODAI MEETING ON THE 15TH May 2016 the Committee would like to make the following statement:
- The Trials is not an Event.
- The Event is the competition where you are representing your country.
- The Sensitivities of those children who did not make teams need to be taken into consideration at the Trials.
- It was acknowledged that Parents should have been informed of the change regarding the Prizes and the decision made not to present trophies.
- Parents were unaware that there was pressure regarding the time length of the Prizegiving being put on the Committee members running the Prizegiving.
- Each of the children who made the team were individualy congratulated at registration.
- A team photograph normally would have been taken but due to the time pressure it did not happen.
- The official congratulations of the team comes with the presentation of both Team gear and a team photograph at the next appropriate regional Event.
- The Committee following much debate re prizes looked at the Prizes given in other countries at this level and a decision has now been made to present Team Badges.
