IT’S all to play for – the Gazette has teamed up with the Riverside Shopping Centre to launch a new Community Sports Awards scheme marking Olympic year.The awards were officially launched at an activity day at the Hemel Hempstead centre, and judges are now calling for nominations from sports clubs and organisations operating in the borough.

Whether you’re a major player on the sports scene or just getting started, you could win £1,000 of vital funding, courtesy of the centre, if your ideas win the backing of Gazette readers and Riverside shoppers. Perhaps your club needs a new team kit, your school needs some sports equipment, you know an Olympic hopeful who needs financial help along the way or your ground needs a makeover – whatever your cause, we would like to hear about it.

To register your nomination, all you have to do is email thegazette@jpress.co.uk and give us the information detailed in the top of the page. The deadline for applications to be received is Sunday, April 8. Five finalists will then be selected and put forward to the public to vote for the two winners.

Riverside centre manager David Robinson said: "There are so many fantastic sports organisations and clubs around the area that deserve some extra support and we would like them to come forward and tell us how we can help." The Community Sports Awards is something brand new for us and we are all very excited about how the money that we donate will be able to help local projects and groups."

Gazette editor John Francis added: “We’re delighted to be teaming up with the Riverside to make sure that as many sports organisations in Dacorum know that this wonderful windfall is available.

“The Gazette is the number one paper for local sport, and we’re always keen to help local firms get their message across – especially when grass roots sport stands to get such a welcome shot in the arm.”
