The Chair of the Town Council’s Community Resources Committee, Councillor Ian Buckland said: “The Sports Awards not only recognise the dedicated sports people of Littlehampton but also also the people behind the clubs and organisations that work tirelessly to support our local clubs and ensure their success.” The closing date will be the 13th August 2018 and nominations will be considered by a judging panel with the winners announced at an invitation only awards ceremony to be held on the 1st October at the New Millennium Chamber.
