PROCEDURE FOR NOMINATION

1. Each club member that feels they are eligible for an award should submit an application to their club.
2. Each club should set up a committee (minimum 4 members including club president, captains etc.), through which each nomination should be discussed and approved or rejected.  A representative from the Athletic Union can input into this process for clubs if requested.
3. Each club will look to approve/ reject individual club members colours nominations based around the general guidelines and criteria for the awards as outlined in this document.
4. This committee will confirm that the information on the individuals form is correct and that the club is supporting the application.  They must then countersign the nomination.  The Committee will therefore be able to comment, without the nominee seeing these comments.  All forms whether supported by the club or not will be submitted to the Athletic Union Colours Committee, and where a club has objected to a nomination they must justify why this is the case.
5. Where a coach is working with a club, the coach’s comments where applicable will be sought to provide additional information to help assess the application.  Again these comments will be added once the individuals form has been submitted to the club.  Some coaches may wish to comment without the club seeing these comments and these wishes should be respected.
6. The form is then handed to the Athletic Union, who will vet the forms prior to their submission to the Athletic Union Colours Committee.
