Nominations open for Arthur Bell Trophy and Emeritus Award

Nominations are now being taken for the Arthur Bell Trophy and the Emeritus Award, presented at the Sport and Recreation Alliance’s Annual General Meeting.

The Emeritus Award has been in existence for over ten years and is awarded for life-long or sustained service to sport and recreation or for long service to the Alliance.

The Arthur Bell Trophy, presented to CCPR by the [then] Chairman of Bell’s Scotch Whisky during the celebrations of the CCPR’s Golden Jubilee in 1985, is presented each year to the individual or organisation that is deemed to have made an outstanding contribution to the development of community sport.
