On Friday 7th October, over 80 juniors and parents packed into the Sea Scouts Hall to celebrate Falcon Juniors' 2015-16 season. 

The evening started with prosecco and food, and with a quiz run by Matt and Aengus, following on from their successful run as quizmasters at the National Championships this year.

The season was then reviewed, covering all 30 race wins, with all race winners invited to stand up for applause. The pennants for the 5 successful crews at Isis Sculls were also awarded, and the new Junior Captain and Captain of Coxes were introduced.

There were a number of prizes awarded, with the Junior of the Year award going to Martin Benfeghoul for his 11 race wins, two 'doubles' (single, double and quad wins at both Isis Sculls and Northampton Head), and other exceptional performances at Egham and Bedford.

The evening closed with a speech by two former juniors, Matt Timms and Aengus Allen, who looked back on their four years as juniors at Falcon.

There was also a special announcement- the Junior squad has received funding for a brand new, international Wintech double, which will be delivered soon. The boat will be named 'Matt and Aengus'.
