Nominations are now being invited for the third annual Winchester District Sports Awards
The Winchester District Sport and Physical Activity Alliance (SPAA) is asking local sports clubs, community organisations and residents to name the best of the District’s sporting talent as the build-up starts to the big award ceremony on Thursday 2nd December.
The awards, which are sponsored by Wild Sports, will be presented at a ceremony in Winchester Guildhall. The awards aim to recognise publicly the commitment and excellence of coaches, volunteers, sportsmen and sportswomen across the Winchester District.
It is hoped that many more clubs and organisations will take the opportunity to submit nominations as the awards evening continues to grow and reward those individuals and teams who commit so much of their time to sport in the District.
Nominations for awards will be considered in the following categories:
Junior Sportsman & Junior Sportswoman
Under 18 years of age
Senior Sportsman & Senior Sportswoman

The awards will be for achievements during the sporting year of 2010, with the exception of Service to Sport which will be for service, coaching, officiating or volunteering over a number of years.
All nominees must either be resident within the Winchester District or registered to, or working with, clubs based in the Winchester District. All entries must be supported by a written statement of no more than 200 words, explaining why you think the nominee deserves this recognition.
This is a great opportunity to support and be involved in a celebration event that showcases the many talented sports people from the Winchester district. There is a number of clubs within our local community and this event is a great chance to really show those people the appreciation they deserve for putting so much time and effort into their sports and the local community.
With the Olympics only two years away there is a great deal happening and this event provides clubs and individuals with a platform to show how much they have done in the last year.
The closing date for entries is Monday 11th October 2010.
