For more than two decades, Dubbo City Council (now Dubbo Regional Council) has recognised the efforts of young and mature sportspeople from across the district.

At last Friday night’s annual Presentation hosted by the new Member for Parkes Jamie Chaffey, Dubbo RSL Memorial Club, Dubbo Regional Council Sport, and Dubbo Photo News, with more than 100 certificates acknowledged an eclectic group of athletes aged form 5–80-plus years.

Next week we will bring you a full list and photos of those who have shone in the past 12 months but just to give you a heads up, here are a couple of pics of major award recipients.
