Cutlery Cup
Nicholas Bond
Southampton SSAGO
Awarded Sunday 30th of April 2023
Nick Bond, of Swansea, Bristol, and Southampton SSAGOs was awarded the cutlery cup in 2023 for his dedication in fulfilling his role as SSAGO's Secretary, and for his previous work on SUGS and Rali Cymru committee. He is also recognised for his dedication in truly becoming a part of 3 clubs, across his time in SSAGO, and for being the kind of person that all 3 clubs would claim as one of their own.
Despite strong competition, the new Team Pink found Nick Bond, of Southampton, Swansea, and Bristol SSAGOs, depending on the day, but more importantly, the outgoing Secretary for SSAGO, to be the stand out candidate. His work keeping National SSAGO going for the year came at the end of an exciting and varied time in SSAGO - starting in Swansea, including time on their committee, and then on the Rali Cymru committee, his industry placement led him to Bristol, where he became a part of UoBGaS, and where he still maintains strong ties. After returning to Swansea and SUGS for the rest of his degree, he then moved to Southampton for his masters degree at the same time as becoming Secretary for SSAGO a role he's held over the last year, and through which he has been integral to SSAGO. His work and dedication is what has made this year a success.
Nick was nominated by his chair and very good friend, Thomas Stevens, who has seen first hand how important his dedication to SSAGO has been this year, and previously on the Rali Cymru committee, and SUGS committee. Despite the cup itself being absent, some creative thinking from Thomas (a glass with a few knives in it) recreated the award, and he was able to present it to Nick, alongside James Barber, the newly elected SSAGO chair.
