Jon Winkle, Head of Marketing at Everybody Sport & Recreation, added “We have been overwhelmed with the volume and quality of this year’s nominations. It has been amazing to read through all the inspirational sporting stories with our judging panels, particularly in an Olympic Year following on from the success of Team GB in Rio. We look forward to celebrating these stories in a few weeks and finding who will take home the gold here in Cheshire East.”
