Nominations are invited for the RYA Community Awards 2005.

In October 2004, twenty-three individual and three joint Awards were presented by Olympic sailing medallists Sarah Webb and Joe Glanfield and the RYA is currently looking for nominations for this year’s awards.

For this, the fourth year of the awards, it has introduced three categories of award.

Lifetime Commitment – someone who has shown exceptional commitment and dedication over a number of years.

Outstanding Contribution – someone who has volunteered for less than 5 years but who has none the less made a significant contribution. This could be a single or ‘one-off’ contribution.

Youth – someone under the age of 25 on the 1 st October 2005 who has demonstrated a regular commitment and/or inspirational contribution to the sport.

This is your opportunity to recognise and reward outstanding contribution made to our sport by individual volunteers within your club, training centre or community sailing project.

Award winners and their guests will be invited to a special presentation ceremony and lunch in London in October.
