NOMINATIONS are being sought for the 2017 Farnham Sports Awards through the Active Surrey website.

The local award winners from all the districts in the county go forward for short-listing to the Surrey Sports Awards where Farnham has enjoyed unrivalled success in recent years.

In 2016 Lucy Edgar from Frensham Pond Sailability won the Young Volunteer of the Year award and the previous year Farnham enjoyed massive success scooping the Surrey Sports Personality of the Year, the Sports Coach of the Year and the Disabled Sports Personality of the Year categories.

Marion Stockley, secretary of the Farnham Sports Council said: “There are so many talented and high achieving sports men, women, boys and girls in Farnham, that we’d love to give them the recognition they deserve.

“There are also categories for successful sports teams and clubs, as well as coaches, disabled sports people and those who give great service to local sport.

“We’d strongly encourage clubs and individuals to check out the Active Surrey website which can be found at www.activesurrey.com for all the award categories and a nomination form.”

One of the Farnham judges, Sue Keogh, said the standard of nominations was always high in Farnham but the judging panel would welcome applications in respect of any deserving individual, team or club.

She added: “It’s a very easy process to nominate but when completing the form online on the Active Surrey website, please be sure you follow the criteria set out by Active Surrey as closely as possible. It’s simply designed to be fair and do justice to all nominations.

“All worthy entries will be acknowledged at the Farnham Sports Awards evening in October, it’s a great occasion.”

The nomination process closes on August 31.
