Mornington Electorate sporting heroes will soon have their chance to stand in the spotlight, with the Member for Mornington, David Morris, today calling for nominations to the 2011 Victorian Government’s Community Sport and Recreation Awards.
Mr Morris said the Awards were a terrific chance for local people to nominate the members, coaches, umpires, referees or volunteers who make a difference to their sporting club.
“Sport and recreation clubs are vital to their communities, especially here in Mornington.”
“These Awards are a chance for a public pat on the back to people who go out of their way to make sport here in the Mornington Electorate what it is today.”
The 2011 Victorian Government’s Community Sport and Recreation Awards will be held at the MCG on Wednesday 30 November, and will honour individuals, teams or clubs with cash prizes across the following nine categories.
