ISABEL REID WINS NATIONAL AWARD
Isabel Reid the longest serving member of Highland Disability Sport  got involved through her daughter Morag in the early 1980s. She was an assistant with the Lawn Bowls team that travelled to the special Olympics in Portsmouth in 1984 and this year marks 40 years since that trip. Since then, Isabel has been a very committed member of the bowls and regularly takes the HDS bowlers for training at Nairn where she resides. She has travelled everywhere with the group to the SDS National indoor and Outdoor Championships where-ever they have taken place and has been instrumental in arranging suitable accommodation and getting others to help with organising the transport for them. She was a representative on the Nairn and District Sports Council for many years and was always organising fundraising opportunities for her bowlers when they needed to take part in competitions. Each year she has been involved with the arrangement of the venues for the HDS competitions indoors or outdoors. You could always rely on Isabel to assist the Highland Teams travelling to the Special Olympics Summer Games up and down the country which entailed lots of major fundraising as well as physical and emotional support to the players she was responsible for and did this with great passion and diligence. She has now surpassed 40 years as a volunteer and fully deserves this National Award of the Elsepth Watson Trophy. Isabel could not attend the Annual Awards Day in September as she was helping fundraise for a group and was presented with the award yesterday at The Highland Disability Sport Indoor Bowls Championship in front of her own bowlers and volunteers. The trophy was presented by Kathryn Talbot Heigh H&I Regional Development Manager from Scottish Disability Sport
Congratulations from everyone in Highland Disability Sport.
