Girdlers’ Medallion Award 2010
Driving Ambition Brings Girdlers’ Medallion Award for Stephen
Stephen Wagland’s delight was evident at the recent Girdlers’ Company Prizegiving Ceremony where he was awarded the Girdlers’ Medallion.
The Girdlers’ Medallions are awarded to individuals for being outstanding in their own individual circumstances and who, in the opinion of the Girdlers’ Company would be worthy recipients.
The awards have been given for the last 15 years “to reward and encourage physical, moral and academic endeavour amongst mostly young people.
Stephen’s achievement in not only passing his driving test but also his pass plus has had a significant impact in his pursuit of a place in the Paralympics with World Class Start Squad for the British Equestrian Federation.
