The Craig Angus Merit Award

Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the recent launch of a new annual prize, the Craig Angus Merit Award, by the Peebles-based Moorfoot Runners club; understands that the award is to commemorate the memory of Craig Angus, a highly regarded junior Moorfoot Runners club member, who passed away in 2023, aged 20; further understands that the award seeks not only to recognise the athletic achievements of junior athletes, but also to celebrate attitudes personified by Craig, such as a good work ethic, respect for others, politeness, modesty, an uncomplaining attitude, dedication, courage, enjoyment, and setting a good example as a member of the Moorfoot team; notes that the inaugural award was presented at Franco's restaurant in Peebles, where Craig worked with his dad, to Sabine Jefcoate, from West Linton, and believes that this award is a fitting tribute to Craig and will serve to encourage other young athletes to follow his commendable example.
