Don & Benita Rope Sports Contributor Award
This award was created in 1977 to recognize individuals, in the past or present, who have contributed significantly to sports in Cambridge as a coach, manager, executive member or administrator.
The Sports Awards Committee so named the award for Benita and Don Rope's involvement in the Cambridge Kips Gymnastics Club. These programmes involved many young people and produced National, International, and Olympic Champions.
