Awards Night Wrap Up

A few tales have surfaced post HUC Awards Night, some true, others not so. To prevent you from living in doubt and uncertainty any longer I present here an accurate account of the evenings proceedings:

The Agent Orange made an appearance, assassinating many (beers). Award winners such as Matt Boevink and Vanessa Brown who were not in attendance are presumed dead, perhaps falling in battle against the AO.

Glamour couple Panties and Sonter arrived fashionably late.

The Vego Force united against the forgetful League's Club, defeating them and procuring for themselves an extraordinary pasta dish.

DJ Rickybeatz danced himself into submission, but was able to party boy and thrust countless others before being escorted home.

Founding father and esteemed guest Huddy Fuller teleported himself back to his base in Van Diemen's Land at the night's end.

Party Liason Officer Chris Brown moved the after party to the within-walking-distance Regatta where he was denied the delicious James Squire amber ale on tap due to his own clumsiness of leaving his ID at home. Big Brother Sebastian smoothly attempted persuading the bouncer, but to no avail.

And despite convincing the bartender that I was a big winner, with Bevan's trophy in hand, she still made me pay for my drinks....

Heroes Ultimate Club - Recruitment Awards 2010
Daniel Strelan - for his leadership of the club over many years and for his passion, which has either started or stoked the ultimate fire within so many Heroes players. His recent receival of AFDA recruiter of the year highlights the ability this man has to bring people into the club. His enthusiasm and efforts are nearly unmatched by anyone in the HUC.

Joshua Weier - for his creation of Discheads. At the time his leadership was an essential part of this team being formed which consisted of an almost entirely fresh roster and now boasts a healthy bench (maybe too healthy?). Josh put great effort into pre season training (season 1) to give these beginners a solid foundation on which to build, to the point where they convincingly took the BUML div2 flag after only 2 seasons together. Although Discheads weren't a part of Heroes during Josh's on field time, they certainly are now, and we owe their existence and much of their development to him.

Heroes Ultimate Club - Coaching Award 2010
Matt Boevink - for his tireless (and so far as the scoreboard goes mostly rewardless) efforts in coaching the Heroes BPL team through 2 seasons, as well as running several coaching sessions throughout the year for the benefit of the entire club. Many Heroes have learnt a lot from him this season.

Heroes Ultimate Club - Culture Award 2010
Carl Behrendorff - for his creation of the blog, as well as the countless hours put in to designing logos and creating posters for tournament prizes. The blog has been the central hub of Heroes communication. It has helped in shaping the culture of the club (history, awards, social) and gives us a presence in the wider ultimate community, with a regular readership coming from all over the world, primarily in Brisbane, but certainly not just limited to the HUC. Carl has conducted interviews and season reviews that are both entertaining and informative. It has been a major contributor to the health of the HUC.

Heroes Ultimate Club - Outstanding Male Award 2010
Adam Beu ‘Jangles’ - for his input to the Heroes BPL team, mostly on the field. He has been the only Firestorm player to come across from another team and help us. He has been enthusiastic about showing us the ropes and the level we need to play at, and has stuck with Heroes despite countless disappointing scores. He has been essential to the workings of the Heroes BPL side.

Heroes Ultimate Club - Outstanding Female Award 2010
Robyn Parkinson - for her creation of the Wonder Women team and encouragement of Heroes women to play in the WUFL. Her presence and voice has been the primary influence in many of our women making the jump from 'casual' to 'interested in more'. As captain of WW she also led these ladies to take the premiership in their first season.

This year our little club has seen many highs and lows, and some people have found themselves caught up on results and performance from time to time. After conversation with The Vice it seems obvious however that the success and health of this club is dependent not on wins vs losses but rather on us being excellent to each other. Regardless of how well we do in tournaments to come, and whether the BPL team gets some wins or not, and even if we never make it to WUCC 2014, it will still be awesome being a part of this group.
