Awards Dinner

Each year, the Bristol Tramps host a sports reunion dinner where individuals are recognized for their athletic achievements in playing or supporting Bristol athletics.  Awards are made in honor of notable Bristol sports figures including Harp Broderick, Bill Garrett, Chuck McCarthy, Lydia Jabs Bailey, Ron Choiniere, Ed Lodovico and Tony Savino.  A Bristol Tramps Committee award and a Team award are also presented.

A program long enough to cover the subject (but brief enough to be interesting) evolved over the early years.  The event is held on a Friday night in April. An invocation and dinner kick off the evening followed by a welcome from the Mayor of Bristol, and the presentation of awards with the reunion usually ending near 10:00 p.m..

In 2008, then Executive Director, Tony Savino (Toastmaster) passed those duties to Committee member Maryellen Holden, who does a great job keeping the night entertaining and the event on time.

Many of you have been coming to this event for years and for that we’re entirely grateful.  We value your opinion and would like your input.  Please click here to complete a brief survey.
