Make your own award – Individual or Club

This year we have launched a ‘make your own award’ category for when an individual or your club has done something that is not recognised in the above categories. Awards are encouraged to be for something fun… think outside the box and be as creative as you like! E.g. Club most likely to put club manager into cardiac arrest, Most last minute committee member.

There will be a limited number of recipients in this category, not all nominees are expected to be recognised so make it count.
