Papanui Rotary's First Gold Medalist

You are never too old to succeed in sport if you have the courage and tenacity to train hard.
 
This was proven by last Thursday's standing ovation to our own Charles Barltrop for winning the Gold Medal in the recent 2017 World Master Games.
 
Offically, we are proud to announce and congratulate Charles as the winner of the 2017 World Masters Games Mountain Bike Race Male 80-84 Section.
 
We're all very proud of you Charles.
 
An excellent award for an excellent person.
