JOIN US for FPSG Awards – and nominations closing soon

Wednesday 12th September 2018

NOMINATION FORMS – close at 5PM ON FRIDAY (14 SEPTEMBER)

Callum Hawkins landed the FPSG Athlete of the Year trophy at our annual awards dinner last year – and now we want you to join us for the 2018 event in Glasgow in November.

This year’s FPSG Annual Awards will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow and it will be a really special occasion this year with Dame Kelly Holmes as our Guest of Honour.

Tickets are on sale now at £45 per person or a table of ten for £425. These are already being snapped up by clubs and last year’s event sold out long before the deadline. So make sure you don’t miss out on a great night.

As we look to the FPSG Awards Dinner, of course, nominations are really important to us to help pull together short-lists in various categories in order to celebrate and acknowledge success and commitment in our sport.

A number of submissions have already been received across categories for Clubs, Coaches, Volunteer and Technical Official – thank you – and we’d love a few more before the closing deadline of 5pm on Friday.

More details on those awards are listed below – and the link to the nominations form is at the top of this article.

Volunteer of the Year

This award allows us to reflect on the great impact of the thousands of volunteers that contribute to the development of athletics clubs in Scotland every year and recognise one individual as our Volunteer of the Year.

Technical Official of the Year

Behind every performance there is an official, this award recognises the large number of people that are involved in the delivery of competition at all levels of our sport and the people within clubs.

The input of technical officials to provide enjoyable competition is an integral part of athletics, and EVERY club has people who are working tirelessly to provide meaningful events for athletes at every stage of their athletics career.
