Sports Awards 2008

This year's High Peak Sports Awards have now been launched, inviting you to nominate a sports person, team, coach, or volunteer, who has achieved in sport, over the last 12 months.

There are 13 award categories, across a range of sporting areas that gives us the opportunity to recognise the high level of sporting achievement in the High Peak. The awards also give winning nominees the opportunity to be recognised at a county level, as all winners will automatically be put forward for the Derbyshire awards that take place in November, at Pride Park, in Derby.

Annual Sports Awards

The awards are also the starting point for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, that is shown on television. So, for those nominated, it is the chance to become part of the national process for recognising sporting excellence. The High Peak awards are due to take place at the end of September and early October, 2008, with an awards ceremony taking place, somewhere within the Borough. The location will be announced later.

Closing date for nominations is Friday, August 22, so please make sure you get your nomination forms completed and sent in to:

The Sports Development team at High Peak Borough Council
Hayfield Road
Chapel-en-le-Frith
High Peak
SK23 0QJ.
