Canoe England Volunteer & Recognition Awards 2008
Following the success of last year's Volunteer Awards, Canoe England have launched the second annual awards. The Volunteer & Recognition Awards for 2008 offer a variety of categories in order to recognise those people who make outstanding contributions to Paddlesport and who often go unnoticed with very little praise.
Nominations are now welcome for the 2008 awards in a number of categories including coaches, volunteers, officials and young people. The categories and criteria for the awards is now available.
Clubs, centres, committee members or paddlers can make their nominations for the Canoe England Volunteer & Recognition Awards on the official form.
An additional form is also available to make nominations via email, click here.
Canoe England Volunteer Awards - winners announced
Presentations to the winners of Canoe England's first ever Volunteer Awards took place on Saturday June 7th 2008. The awards recognise and reward volunteers, officials and coaches who make outstanding contributions to Paddlesport and who often go unnoticed with very little thanks and praise.
Presentations took place at the National Watersports Centrre, Nottingham during the English Council ACM. British Canoe Union Vice Presidents, David Gent and Alan Laws, were on hand to present the awards to the winners.

Volunteer Focus
Across the country, volunteers are making outstanding commitments to Paddlesport. Without the coaches, officials, committee members, administrators and helpers the sport could not exist as it does today. A special thanks goes to all volunteers and this section will provide the opportunity for clubs, centres and committees to say a special thanks to their volunteers.
