The SOYA committee was formed more than 30 years ago to celebrate and recognise the achievements of our sporting men and women.
Not only are our local athletes recognised, the committee pride themselves on recognising everyone who makes sport possible - the administrators, officials and coaches.
Awards categories are: Administrator, Coach/Trainer, Referee/Official, All Rounder, and of course the Junior and Senior Sportsperson.
All nominations are judged by an independent judging panel with winners to be announced at the annual presentation dinner on Saturday March 7 at the Forbes Services Memorial Club.
The committee is busy preparing for the dinner and awaiting confirmation from our special guest speaker who is sure not to disappoint.
All that's needed, is for the community to get the nominations in.
Nomination forms can be found on the Forbes SOYA Facebook page or by contacting organisation secretary, Anita Morrison on 0405 364 512 or email - morrisonaj68@gmail.com
You can also pick a copy up at the Advocate office.
