As the deadline for nominations in the Cloudathlete Pride of Table Tennis Awards approaches, we are also seeking volunteers for the judging panel.

This is great chance to show your support of table tennis and make sure the unsung heroes who put so much commitment into the sport are recognised and rewarded.

The judging panel will select the winners from among all of the nominations submitted by the deadline of 5pm on Monday 19 January.

If you are interested, please contact Lauren Evans before the same deadline.

Meanwhile, we have received more than 100 nominations across the 12 categories, but there is still time to put forward a local hero who you would like to see honoured for their commitment to helping others enjoy and achieve in our sport.

We want to hear about amazing individuals and organisations who have made outstanding contributions across the sport, in the last year or over many years.

Nomination is via an online form, however, if you would like to make a nomination by video, phone or post, please initially email [email protected]
