The number of nominations received for the awards this year was higher than ever before which goes to show the outstanding dedication and commitment of the volunteers involved in the sport of judo in Great Britain. The awards recognise a select few who have made exceptional achievements this year, but our volunteers across the country contribute to making the sport a success in the UK, and to every one of them, we say thank you.
