Thank you to all who affiliated in
2009/10 enabling the Sports Council to give £1,800 in grants to
young people to assist with the costs in their training and also,
to cover some of the costs incurred in running the Annual Junior
Sports Awards Presentation of 2009. It is hoped this year to
continue supporting as many young people of Richmondshire as
possible.

The Local Sports Council also took the initiative to set up
and organise the Junior Sports Awards event in 1998, awarding
numerous local young people for their contribution to sport and the
recognition brought to Richmondshire through sport.
Due to the success of the event, the
Local Sports Council have continued to organise this event
annually. The 2010 Awards presentation took place on
Wednesday 7 July 2010 at Wensleydale School, Leyburn.
