Fylde people, clubs and organisations that go above and beyond to keep the community active were honoured at a dazzling ceremony on Saturday 30th September.
The sell-out Fylde Active Community Awards, which were held at Ribby Hall, were hosted by Fylde Council’s Sports Development Team.
Champions from the 11 categories included representatives from across the sporting spectrum including, running, martial arts, equitation, bowling and gymnastics.
AFC Fylde Community Foundation and Fylde Rugby Community Foundation sponsored the awards and marketing agency ICG was creative partner.
Cllr Karen Buckley, Leader of Fylde Council, said: “Fylde has a fantastic community of sporting superstars and every year we get together to celebrate and applaud them. As usual the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone came ready to party!
“While we do have to choose a winner for each category, I would like to congratulate everyone that was nominated as together they all make a huge difference to the lives of people here in Fylde.
“We are also fortunate to have lots of supportive organisations that sponsor and promote the awards.
“The awards ceremony gets bigger and better each year and we’re already looking forward to 2024!”
The awards ceremony took place at Ribby Hall on September 30th with Fylde Council’s Tourism & Cultural Manager Tim Dixon as compere.
