RICS Honours Plowman Craven Evans Cycles Race Team
Plowman Craven Evans Cycles Professional Cycling Team were awarded with the "RICS Sports Team of the Year 2007" at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Sports Awards on the evening of the 28th June. Presenting the awards was Graham Chase, RICS President 2006/2007, who commented:
"My concept for this event was quite simply to recognise and celebrate the different ways in which RICS members get involved in sports, as this is such a strong theme in our profession. The response was incredible. The list of sports ranged from the mainstream such as rugby, football, cricket, hockey, squash, sailing, rowing, athletics, etc, - to the unusual, including aerobatics, and croquet!"
"What they all have in common is that they unite people in that unique spirit that sporting activities inspire. People get a lot out of competing, organising, coaching and fundraising."
The President was joined on stage by special guest, Australian rugby legend, Michael Lynagh, who presented the awards to the successful teams.
The Plowman Craven-Evans Cycling Team currently lead the UK rankings for cycle racing, and one of whom, Gordon McCaulay, also leads the individual UK rankings.
