Berkhamsted Sports grounds launches Sporting Excellence Awards

The launch took place on 6 June at Berkhamsted Golf Club attended by the Lady Mayoress Susan Jordon and many local sports clubs.

In addition, we are launching a Loans Programme for all sport and active leisure clubs who are not members of BSGCA. The charitable purpose of BSGCA is to enhance the well-being of the residents of Berkhamsted and surrounding villages through the provision of facilities for their participation in sports and active leisure. Our current members are the principal clubs in the town –

The charity owns the freehold land on which Berkhamsted Football Club and Berkhamsted Cricket Club play and part of the site for Berkhamsted Tennis and Squash Club. Members can apply for a range of loans and grants.

The Sporting Excellence Awards will be given in June 2025 and will be judged by the achievement of the individual in their sport plus a demonstration of their commitment to sporting values.
