Haslemere Hall – Wednesday 15th October 2025 – 7.30pm

Guest speakers and refreshments

The purpose of these awards is to acknowledge outstanding performance or standards of service within Haslemere and the surrounding villages and to applaud and embrace the thriving Haslemere sporting community. Nominations can be made by any bona fide individual, club or organisation affiliated to Sport Haslemere and applications are welcome for more than one of the categories.

Full details on how to apply are to be found on the enclosed nomination form.

The qualification period for all categories, other than Special services to Sport, covers the year from 1st September 2024 until 31st August 2025.

The deadline for applications will be 8th September 2025.

An adjudicating panel will assess the nominations and the awards will be presented at the Sport Haslemere Awards on Wednesday 15th October 2025. Award winners will receive an appropriate trophy (to hold for one year) as well as a perpetual memento. A photographer will be on hand to take photographs which will appear in the local papers.

So, is there that special person in your club or school? Is there someone you totally rely on? Is there someone you could not do without? Is there someone who has performed out of their skin?

If the answer to any of the above is yes, then don’t miss the opportunity of giving them a pat on the back, a thank you, a minute in the spotlight – fill in the form now.
