23rd April 2010 - The Brit Oval
The Brit Oval was the setting for the 3rd Annual PRO-ACTIVE London Awards for Sport & Physical Activity Friday 23rd February 2010. 191 attendee's came together from London's 33 boroughs to acknowledge and say "thank you" to the heroes of community sport.
With a record number of nominations received and more people attending than ever before all where anticipating a special night. Guest speaker Derek Redmond set the scene with the inspirational tale of the Great Britain 4x400m Relay Gold Medal winning Race at the 1991 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.
Derek was also on hand to present awards to our winners. Whether it is a volunteer turning up week in week out to provide coaching opportunities for young people at their local sports club; a coach who provides opportunities in the local community or a sports club or organisation as a whole, the awards recognised and rewarded people's commitment to sport and physical activity over the last year. These awards are the only awards that celebrate community sport on a London scale.
