Caledon based Olympian Andrew Yorke, who raced in Rio, will be recognized at the year-end supper, to be held at Caledon Golf and Country Club at 2121 Olde Base Line Rd. The evening's keynote speakers are a unique family. The Mallorys from Barrie set a world record six years ago when a family of five climbed Mount Everest. Imagine parents and their kids all climbing the world's toughest and highest mountain. Top Para athletes will be at the evening supper as well as local World Champions. “Our goal is to have a night once a year to recognize amazing athletic accomplishments by local athletes and to hopefully inspire our community to set big goals and go after it,” said Caledon's Olympic coach Barrie Shepley. Shepley was in Rio in August doing work with CBC Sports. Other locals who will be at the event include National Champions Sean Bechtel and Taylor Reid, as well as World Half Ironman Champion Bob Knuckey. Tickets for the event are $50, and that includes supper, a small gift and an inspiring night. The evening is open to anyone who wants to be inspired, and help celebrate the great local success. It is being sponsored by Scotia Bank, Benson Steel, Kinetico Water, Royal Containers, Caledon Hills Bike Shop and Personal Best. To reserve a seat or two or an entire table, email barrie@personalbest.ca or call Barrie at 647-400-3845. Olympian Andrew Yorke will be recognized Nov. 12. --------------------------------------------------- Images: https://caledoncitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/45-yorke-2.75-300x243.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2016-11-11 15:44:19 Post date GMT: 2016-11-11 20:44:19 Post modified date: 2016-11-11 15:44:19 Post modified date GMT: 2016-11-11 20:44:19 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
