Congratulations to you all.
The Berkhamsted Sporting Excellence Awards took place last night, and honestly, the room was packed with people who deserve far more recognition than they get. It was an unbelievable evening celebrating the absolute best of our local clubs and sports.
The night represented everything a community awards evening should be, celebrating a young karateka on the rise, coaches & volunteers who turn up every single week rain or shine, a team redefining what it means to be inclusive & supportive, the two amazing volunteers sharing a trophy for their dedication to Potten End Bowls Club, and many other individuals who makes our local clubs so special.
Every single nominee raised the bar this year and they all deserve a standing ovation. We are thrilled to share a special congratulations to this year's titleholders:
