East Midlands Volunteers take their chance to shine and go for gold.
What a fantastic few months it has been for East Midlands Netball! Our region’s volunteers continue to achieve so much it’s hard to do justice here to their amazing successes at all levels of the game.
Hot on the heels of our Regional Celebration Event on 16 June, many of our volunteers have had their contribution to volunteering recognised nationally by being asked to carry the Olympic torch throughout the region. Oliver Hooper, Sophie Bingham, Natalie Simpson, Vicki Weatherby, Sue Duffin, Sue Jones, Hollie Coupland and Anya Snow, to name just a few. As each torch-bearer set off for their run they were told “This is your time to shine” and we really can’t agree more.
Kate Wilcox then went on to be successful at screening for the IFNA International Umpire Award and has now been allocated to the Fast 5 Tournament in New Zealand in November; and Olivia Murphy, former England Netball Captain, was awarded Honorary Life Membership of England Netball for her services to the game.
Finally, we also had amazing successes at the England Netball Goalden Globes Awards on 22 September.
Our national award winners were:
