The correct nomination form will then be emailed out for completion, including citation. Nomination forms must be returned by Sunday 7 September to the email address found on the nomination form.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a presentation evening on Tuesday 4 November at Fordhouses Cricket Club where the winners will receive their awards.
There are a range of categories; coach of the year, volunteer of the year, under 21 volunteer of the year, disabled player/athlete of the year, veteran of the year (over 60), team or club of the year, 50 years a club/team/league (for continued playing of the sport), community team/club/league of the year, and the Ted Hayward and Jeff Coleman Memorial Awards. There will also be Awards of Merit given out for contribution to sport within Wolverhampton.
Peter Holmes MBE, Chair of Wolverhampton City Sports Advisory Council, said: “Wolverhampton is very fortunate in having sporting and recreational clubs who contribute to the life of the city. The clubs are staffed by volunteers who without their contribution sport would not exist.
“This is an opportunity for clubs to recognise its members and nominate them for Civic recognition. I look forward to meeting our nominees at the awards evening.”
