The boring bit
Nominations will close at 17:00 on Wednesday 24 June.
Think the person your nominating may have been nominated before – no worries! Send it to us anyway as only previous winners are excluded from the process.
Wondering if you can nominate someone? Go ahead – if your organisation is a member of the Sport and Recreation Alliance, we want to hear from you! The only snag is you will need the endorsement of your National Governing Body (or equivalent).
The Emeritus Award will be presented during the AGM at the Annual Conference on 23 September by our President, His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex.
It is with immense sadness that the Sport and Recreation Alliance learned of Andy Sutch’s passing last week, and we send our deepest condolences to Andy’s family and friends.
