Hertfordshire Netball Long Service Award
Hertfordshire Netball values all its volunteers from Club, League and County and has now introduced the Hertfordshire Netball Long Service Award to recognise those volunteers within the county who have given dedicated voluntary service for 20 years or more.
This dedicated service will span 20 years or more involving any or all of the categories of Administration and/or Coaching and/or Officiating and could cross over to include different roles or duties within Club and/or League and/or County, or a combination. (This does not include Playing).
Nominations for this award are not a secret, so self-nomination will be accepted. Self-nominations will need to be approved by the County Chair. Services and volunteering that run in parallel with others may count in addition to one another. Some examples of this are below:
Example One:
A member could have given voluntary service for 10 years to Club and in parallel five years to the League (this is counted as 10 years), plus 10 years at County level. This would add up to 20 years. The total years voluntary service is counted as the addition of Club plus League (10 years) plus County (10 years).
The service doesn’t need to be consecutive i.e. there could be a gap in the service, but it must span 20 years or more of voluntary service.
Example Two:
A member gives five years’ service at Club and then five years at County. Then they had a break for 3 years for whatever reason. Then they do another 12 years’ service at club. This would total 22 years of service. So, this span isn't 20 years consecutively, but they have given over 20 years of service in total.
All nominees must be currently affiliated to England Netball.
We know there are many of you who will have done 20 years or more and we need you to nominate those people, or don’t be afraid to nominate yourself!
You can find a nomination form under the 'Info' then 'Application forms and documents' tabs on the website. Deadline 31st March 2025. Successful nominations will be announced at the AGM in June 2025.
