Sports Volunteer Awards 2011
Sport in Argyll and Bute is thriving thanks to a number of volunteers who give their time willingly and enthusiastically to a number of clubs. We have some of the healthiest statistics for volunteering in the country. More than three in ten (35%) of adults in Argyll and Bute have taken part in some form of voluntary activity during the previous year. The national rate is just over two in ten (26 %).
Now it’s time to show your appreciation for their efforts by nominating one of these people for an award in one of four categories – adult and junior volunteer, sports organisation and sports event. The winner will be announced at the Volunteer Week Awards in June 2011 run with our partners Argyll Voluntary Action.
Last year saw Willie Luke, a coach from Football Mid Argyll win an award for his dedication and high level of commitment. Chris Chew was a winner for helping with a number of clubs and sports at Hermitage Academy. In Helensburgh G84 Netball Club were rewarded for their impressive growth and competition success and MOKRUN, the Mull of Kintyre Half Marathon and 10k were winners for their fantastic event which brings hundreds of people to the area.
You can submit your nominations on the Argyll and Bute Council website at http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/sports-vo ... wards-2011 The closing date for nominations is May 27th 2011. The winners will be picked on June 17th 2011
