Lascelles Memorial Awards Announced

21 December 2023

Lascelles Awards 2019

Former British Water Ski & Wakeboard (BWSW) Honorary President Major General Anthony Lascelles' estate left in 2002 a major bequest to support talented young athletes. Each year the Lascelles Committee accept applications from young athletes.  Although the bequest has since been exhausted, with the generous help of donors and monies donated from BWSW, we have been able to continue the awards. Grants are awarded to “highly promising” young athletes who are “active competitors in an active recognised sporting discipline”
