The Tam Sneddon Award
The Tam Sneddon Memorial Trophy was inaugurated shortly after Tam died in 1976. He was a long standing and very active member of Clydebank Sub Aqua Club, holding the post of Treasurer for very many years. Tam took his job very seriously and made sure that the Club had a firm financial footing.
He very sadly and suddenly died as he was about to enter the water to enjoy his favourite sport of Scuba Diving.
The Branch decided to honour the name of Tam Sneddon by awarding a Trophy to the member of the Branch who had done the most to promote and encourage scuba diving in Clydebank Sub Aqua Club in the preceding year.
Any member of the Club may nominate a Club member to receive the award, giving a brief explanation as to why you have made the recommendation. Once all the nominations have been received, past recipients of the trophy will vote for the winner.

This year the format for voting changed slightly giving the whole branch membership the opportunity to vote for who they thought should receive the award. Once the nominations had been received, then previous winners of the trophy could vote for this year’s winner.
This year’s winner of the award is Harry McGinley. Members felt Harry had shown great enthusiasm for learning to dive and progressing through his training quickly and into the open water. Harry has quickly established himself as an active member of the branch who is always keen to go diving and enhance his skills and experience and with his bubbly personality he makes dive trips a fun experience.
