Our first achievement award winner in 2015 was Marya Razzaq. Her commitment to the club, support of other members and the progress she has made in cricket make her a deserved winner of this award. Marya decided to spend her award money on a trip to Madame Tussauds for PACE members and volunteers.

Our second achievement award winner in 2015 was Janki Dasani. Janki has been with PACE for almost 10 years, in that time she has developed significantly.
