BADMINTON England would like to congratulate Gill Bartlett on her success in the Hertfordshire Sports Partnership Service to Sport Awards. Gill was awarded First Place in the Senior Official / Administrator of the Year category, reflecting the time and dedication she gives to badminton.

Tuesday 7th June saw the second annual Herts Sports Partnership Service to Sport Awards take place at the Hertfordshire Sport Village, Hatfield.

The awards, sponsored by Excel Sports, have been created by the Herts Sports Partnership to recognise the outstanding work that goes on within sports clubs and organisations throughout Hertfordshire.

Nominations were received from all over the county, with some winners having already triumphed in their local area awards, run either by their local authority or local newspaper.

The award winners received their prizes from three of the Herts Sports Partnership’s Paralympic patrons: Paul Pearce, Peter Pearse and Chris Salvary.
