Volunteers at Eton Dorney contributed enormously to the success of the Olympic Regatta, and many of those Games Makers will now return to rowing clubs up and down the UK to continue working selflessly for benefit of our sport.ADVERT The 2012 British Rowing Awards are the perfect way to recognise their tireless efforts – with a range of categories for volunteers and coaches, from U18s to event volunteers and club secretaries. If someone at your club deserves special recognition for their contribution to our sport, nominating them is as easy as filling in an online form. For a full list of the nomination categories in the British Rowing Volunteer and Coach of the Year awards, visit www.britishrowing.org/taking-part/volunteering/awards-2012. Nominations close on August 31st 2012. ADVERT
