Sports awards are back
“The nomination process isn’t hard. Just say what you do and why
you love it,” said Chris Smith, secretary at Ealing BMX Club, which
took the title of Junior Club of the Year at the 2018 Ealing Sports
Awards. The awards are back, as Jessica O’Neil-Shaw reports.
N
ominations are open for the
2019 Ealing Sports Awards,
sponsored by Everyone
Active. It is your chance to
recognise the outstanding achievements
of local club members, coaches,
volunteers and clubs themselves.
You can nominate until 1 May 2019.
And it can make a real difference to
those who receive deserved recognition.
“Winning the award was
fantastic recognition
of our dedicated
coaches, riders
and volunteers,”
Chris added.
“The award
confirmed the
credibility of
the club and
has helped us
encourage more children and young
people to give it a go.”
The aim of the awards is to recognise
and celebrate the sporting achievements
of local clubs and individuals that inspire
people of all ages and abilities to take
part in sporting activities in the borough.
‘SPORT PROVIDES ENJOYMENT TO
SO MANY PEOPLE’
Councillor Bassam Mahfouz, the
council’s cabinet member
for finance and leisure,
said: “After the
success of the
first two annual
Ealing Sports
Awards, I am
delighted
that we’re
able to host
them again to
showcase sporting
talents of all ages and
highlight the outstanding contributions
made by local volunteers, sports coaches,
clubs and community organisations to the
health and wellbeing of local residents.
“Involvement in sport provides so
much enjoyment to so many people,
as well as providing opportunities at
every level for people of all abilities
to meet new friends, improve their
health, become part of a team, help
others, achieve personal goals and lots
more. I’d encourage everyone involved
in sports in the borough to make sure
they nominate.”
