The Achievement Award (including sports)

Made to any team or individual who, in the opinion of the awards committee, has excelled within their particular field/activity (including sport), either by a significant improvement in their skills and/or personal achievement and development.  To qualify for this award a team must be Melksham-based or, in the case of an individual, be resident within Melksham.
