Ancholme Leisure Centre was the venue for the North Lincolnshire Leisure Awards 2010, with community, sports, arts and heritage volunteers honoured. Nominations were sought from across the area, and it proved a very enjoyable event, with a particularly fine buffet served in the sports hall.
Nigel Adkins, manager of Scunthorpe United, attended and presented the sports awards, despite it being his birthday! One of the Vale of Ancholme hockey teams picked up a team trophy, but it was not just youngsters who were rewarded. Indeed, a bowls team from Scunthorpe was made up of players over 80.
It was an an honour to attend as a guest, wearing my Lincolnshire County Cricket League official's hat, and to be joined on Table One by Tony Stamp, Brigg Hockey Club coach during my days trying to bash a ball about in the Yorkshire League.
Much hard work went into organising the event, a great deal of the co-ordination being down to Marie Bailey, Brigg-based sport development officer.
If you get the chance to attend this event in the future, it comes highly recommended.
