We are extremely pleased to announce the nominees for the 2016/2017 Distinguished Service and Blues Awards. The NSWTA Awards recognise excellence in all endeavours of our sport and organisation. The Gala Blues Dinner where the awards are handed out is the most important night on the NSWTA calendar. One of the most prestigious parts of the evening is where we name our Distinguished Service and Blues Awards nominees. The Blues Awards have a proud history of recognising excellence, longevity, passion and performance of volunteers at every level of our sport. To further recognise our sport’s wonderful volunteers the 2016/17 Awards sees the introduction of the Distinguished Service Award.
The NSWTA Awards will be handed out at our Gala Blues Dinner to be held in the Grand Ballroom of Bankstown Sports Club on Saturday, October 14 and will be MC’s by the fabulous Joel Caine and will again include the Smith and Boland Medal count. The Dinner is also part of the NSWTA State Conference and we encourage all of our members to attend both the Dinner and the Conference. To nominate for the State Conference please click here.
Congratulations to all the finalists, with over 110,000 members of the NSWTA it is a great achievement to be listed as a finalist in these Awards. Those named as a finalist will be contacted over the next week with relevant information on the evening. We look forward to all of our finalist’s attendance so we can as sport and organisation celebrate their tremendous efforts over the past 12 months.
