The Brin Isaac Memorial Fund 'Our Story' Est.1951
Brin Isaac Story: 1901-1948
Brin Isaac had a short life of forty-seven years. The number of those fortunate to have had personal contact with him grows smaller as his death occurred after the second world war. For all that, his name and achievements are in these days more widely known and honoured than during the lifetime he devoted to the unstinted service of youth and sport.
This in itself sufficient reward for those who in 1950 inaugurated the 'Brin Isaac Memorial Fund' to perpetuate the memory and spirit of one who in amateur boxing, gymnastics and scouting, and in other ways too numerous to identify, did so much for the generations of Llanelli youth who approached maturity during the difficult inter-war years and the periods that followed.
Originating at the Llanelli Y.M.C.A., the home of his boxing club, a celebrated nursery for cadet, schoolboy and Welsh A.B.C. champions, the Brin Isaac Memorial Fund has over the years fostered virtually all forms of sporting endeavour through the medium of the annual awards to those who distinguished themselves by outstanding performance or, in the true Brin Isaac tradition, in long and selfless service to a chosen pursuit.
By such means - although the man has long left us - his spirit and example are preserved.
