What Happens with the Nominations...
Once we get all nominations in, a committee of Surrey CB members reads through them all, then selects the top 4 or 5 Regional Winners, who are submitted to the RFU/Honda.
The RFU/Honda then whittle that number down to 1 or 2 per county who are the Finalists. They join other finalists from other counties around the county, and are invited - along with a partner - to an overnight stay at the Marriott Hotel in Twickenham, a lunchtime event, a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium and a black tie dinner. At the dinner Honda announces the overall winner for the year for each category.
All nominees are recognised at a local level with an invitation to a Volunteer Awards Evening.
