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.

The format for voting for the recipient of the Tam Sneddon Award changed slightly thid year, 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 were then invited to vote for this year’s winner.
​
This year the winner showed enthusiasm and dedication to completing his training in a very timely manner, whilst also being the first branch member since Clydebanksac became affiliated to the British Sub Aqua Club to achieve his BSAC Ocean Diver award, having only joined the branch back in August 2023.This year’s winner is Harry Ellicott.
Congratulations to Harry and we hope he will go on to achieve further diving qualifications.
