Mermaid Awards

The other week my Cheerleading Squad held their annual Mermaid Awards which is an event where all the cheerleaders are recognised for their hard work throughout the year. There are some funny awards too, so the evening is a lighthearted and fun event to attend. This year is was held in Greenwich and we had the whole of the upstairs of the pub to ourselves to drink, eat and receive our awards.

This year, there were around 6 awards which received a plaque, a cute bow keyring and a certificate, then other awards received bows and a certificate. The bows were really cute, so I’ve put my one on my keys, other people put theirs on their bags. Because YES I WON AN AWARD! And I couldn’t be happier with the award I received this year. Last year I received ‘Take it on the Shoulder Award’ which was showing that I can take some banter! This year my award was more focused on my cheerleading ‘career’. Committee on the Mermaids decided that I should be the one to get the ‘Most Improved Flyer’ Award and I love it!

Last year I didn’t fly at all, I mainly based. But this year, I was hit by the flying bug and started loving it! I was also really happy with the comments that committee made along with my award, they said that they were surprised by my technique and wished that I had started flying earlier on! So I couldn’t be more pleased. It made me want to fly more and become better than what I am!

I can’t wait to see what award I’ll get next year! Bring on 2016 cheer!
