Langebaan Athletics Club (LAC) held its annual prestige awards ceremony at the Langebaan City Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attended by about 200 guests, the theme for the event was a \u201cNight with the Stars\u201d and took place on Friday 15 November. The evening kicked off with an overview and background on LAC by its chairman Christopher Rodgers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He spelt out the vision of LAC, \u201cOne Plan, One Vision and One Mission\u201d. That it\u2019s to foster athletics as a sport in the West Coast District, to play a leading role in developing young athletes and to support the athletes in every way to be the best version of themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guest speaker was Bertram Vraagom, former president of Saldanha Bay Rugby Club, seasoned sports administrator and businessman.
