The Club Recognition Awards will be held on Wednesday 29 July 2026. 

Why participate? 

This is a chance to reflect on your club’s progress, celebrate successes, and gain recognition for the hard work of your committee, volunteers, and members. Nominate your club and highlight key developments in governance, financial management, diversity and inclusion, marketing, and more.

  • Financial Management – New budgeting tools, revenue strategies, and financial transparency improvements.
