COMMUNITY AWARDS 2016: Time to honour Horsham district's sporting heroes
One of the 16 gongs to be presented at the ceremony in November is The Good Sport Award.
Perhaps there is a sports coach who should be recognised for how they have nurtured young people while helping them excel in sport. It may be a club member who has gone above and beyond to contribute to the organisation’s success.

Last year’s Good Sport Award, sponsored by Places for People, went to teacher Paul Showell.
He was nominated for his work getting more than 70 per cent of children at Southwater Junior Academy playing sport.
As a result of his hard work, school became national under 11 Table Tennis champions and Sussex champions in both hockey and tennis last year.

In 2014 David Clayton, coach of the Horsham Hawks Under-11 basketball team won it.
David was nominated by a parent who described his ability to coax such dedication, effort and performances from the team as a ‘joy to witness’.
