Good afternoon club secretaries,

I hope you are all well? Fingers crossed the snow and rain will not affect your fixtures this weekend?

I am forwarding an email I received from The FA regarding Grassroots awards. The link will take you to the page for nominations.

Grassroots Awards have been opened today and the public can nominate the clubs, leagues, volunteers and match officials that make football so enjoyable for so many people

Please note that these are FA Awards and are in addition to the awards which the Wiltshire FA are currently seeking nominations for.     https://www.wiltshirefa.com/about/grassroots-awards
