Surrey Heath Sports Award Winners 2010

Sporting talent from around the borough was honoured at the Surrey Heath Sports Awards held on Sunday 12th September at the Camberley Theatre.

Nominations were put forward by local clubs, coaches, schools and National Governing Bodies (NGBs).

Held at the Camberley Theatre, the awards ceremony was attended by hundreds of players, coaches and volunteers from across the borough as well as the Mayor of Surrey Heath, Councillor John May.
