We could not have wished for better weather or turn out for our very first Awards evening. Only a couple of Members couldn’t make it, so it was brilliant to see such a full house!

Chipstead Golf Club provided a stunning setting and it was so lovely to welcome our families, some represented by three generations!
Our early birds enjoyed a fun golf session before joining us on the balcony for drinks. With the beautiful backdrop and well ventilated indoor space, it was the perfect place to celebrate FBA on Freedom Day. The friendly atmosphere and clear support from our FBA Fam was a huge bonus!
Chef did a great job on the BBQ, then we got the awards underway with a bit about FBA’s ethos and our achievements so far – it is hard to believe it has only been 4 months! Since coaching with restricted numbers during lockdown, there is no doubt that our main achievement so far has been attracting such a positive and supportive bunch of Members. The perfect base to build upon.

Our fantastic guests, PE Teacher Owen Longhurst from Harris Academy Purley and ECB Park Champion Coordinator, Sabah Hamed, presented Scholarships to some of our well deserved and talented FBA Scholars. We look forward to working hard with you over the coming year!
