Carlisle Sports Awards

(Date of issue: Tuesday, 19 July 2011)

An event celebrating the outstanding talent, commitment and success of Carlisle sportspeople will be held later on this year.

Carlisle City Council and Carlisle Sports Council is holding the inaugural Carlisle Sports Awards this October and is asking residents to nominate local sporting stars who have contributed to a local sports club or achieved a high standard in their sport.

The nomination period for the 12 different categories is now open and should refer to sporting excellence between 1 September 2010 and Wednesday, 31 August 2011. The closing date for nominations is Friday, 2 September. Nomination forms are available on www.activecumbria.org/carlisle-sports-awards or from the Civic Centre, Carlisle.

Jim Crowe, Chairman of Carlisle Sports Council, said:

“The awards will act as a celebration to recognise the fantastic work volunteers, coaches and players provide for our local clubs and organisations. The support of Carlisle City Council and a host of local sponsors will ensure we acknowledge the quality of our major sports performers and emerging talent.”

Cllr Jacquelyne Geddes, Portfolio holder for Community Engagement, said:

“With the countdown well and truly underway for the London 2012 Olympics, it’s important that we also look at sporting excellence closer to home too. Carlisle is rich with sporting talent and the inaugural Carlisle Sports Awards will be a chance to put the spotlight on to some of them.”
