Powerade
Surrey Sports Awards 2007
We are very excited to
announce the inaugural Surrey Sports Awards fuelled by
Powerade, the isotonic sports drink, to take place in October! For
the first time, local people across Surrey will be celebrated and
recognised for their contribution to community sport.
The Powerade Surrey
Sports Awards will take place at the prestigious Royal Holloway University of
London in Egham, on the evening of
Sunday 14th October. Involving Sport
England, National Governing Bodies of Sport, Local Authorities and
Sports Councils, the Awards will recognise and applaud those people
who have helped to transform sport for the better in Surrey. Awards
will be announced in 11 different categories (covering clubs,
coaches, volunteers, teams and schools) and the winners will be
automatically nominated for regional and national sports awards,
like the sports coach UK Coach of the Year and BBC Regional Sports
Personality of the Year Awards.
The Powerade Surrey
Sports Awards will particularly highlight the fabulous efforts of
the many volunteers that commit hour after hour to help ensure that
sport around the county continues to prosper and
thrive. To acknowledge their contribution to
sport, over 400 people connected and involved in sport within the
county, including mayors, local politicians and other VIPs will be
in attendance to show their appreciation.
We are particularly
happy to announce that Mark Richardson, the former
Great Britain 400m runner who has won an Olympic Silver medal and a
Gold at the World Championship's, will be attending the evening to
speak about his sporting experiences and to congratulate the
winners of the Powerade Surrey Sports Awards.
