Nominations for 2008 invited now |
|
The RYA Community Awards, launched in 2002, recognise the exceptional voluntary contribution given by individuals. These awards, seen as the ‘MBEs’ of our sport, are given to people who make a real impact on our sport at local, grass roots level. In November 2007, fifty-three Awards, including six in the Youth Category were presented by HRH the Princess Royal.
Award Categories
Lifetime Commitment - someone who has shown exceptional commitment and dedication to their club or organisation for at least 10 years
Outstanding Contribution - someone who has volunteered for less than 10 years but who has none the less made a significant contribution. This could be a single or ‘one-off’ contribution.
Youth - someone under the age of 25 on the 1st October 2008 who has demonstrated a regular commitment and/or inspirational contribution which is over-and-above their own participation or achievement within the sport.
Individuals must be nominated by their club/centre or organisation to receive an Award, in one of three categories.
Clubs may only make one nomination in each category.
Award winners and their guests will be invited to a special presentation ceremony and luncheon in London in November.
This is a great opportunity for your club, centre, organisation or association to recognise and reward outstanding contribution made to our sport by individual volunteers.
Who will you nominate?
For further information:
Written nominations should reach the RYA by Monday 12th May 2008.
