Club Awards - What a Night to Remember!

Congratulations to every winner and finalist at the Club Awards.
You should all be so proud of the amazing work you’re doing!

What a Fantastic Evening

We’ve been inundated with messages from clubs and guests saying how wowed they were by the night — and we couldn’t agree more.

While presenting the Club Awards was the main event (of course!), the drinks reception, the fantastic meal, the complimentary drinks and incredible entertainment from Robbie (aka Tony) and Tara kept everyone dancing well into the early hours. 🎉💃🕺

The Perfect Alpine Setting

The Club Awards returned for the fourth year running to the vibrant Art Deco Athena in Leicester - the perfect setting with an Alpine theme this year. This year’s Awards saw record numbers, and we were delighted to welcome so many clubs, guests, sponsors, Associations and supporters to the 33rd Club Awards.

Around the Club Awards

From the Drinks Reception to the Post Awards Party, the Club Awards always offer a unique opportunity to meet, greet, and mingle with the very best of Clubland.

This Bulletin is a rewind for those who couldn’t be there, a round of applause for those who were, and a heads-up to clubs of all types and sizes that entry for the Club Awards 2026 will open soon!

Celebrating the best of Clubland

Club Awards celebrated the incredible diversity of Clubland, with categories spanning Community, Family, Entertainment, Catering, Diversity, Sustainability, Social Media, Sports Clubs, Turnaround and Innovative Club of the Year. Plus the individual awards including Community Heroes, Long Service Awards, Young Ambassadors, and Volunteer Recognition awards

This year's ultimate prize - the King of Clubs - was won by Cardiff Bay Yacht Club, so huge congratulations to the Committee, the Members and all who sail in her!

We were certainly Entertained!

What an amazing night of music - we were truly entertained from start to finish! 🎶✨

Our Robbie Williams tribute, brought to life by the incredibly talented Tony Lewis, absolutely wowed the crowd with all the classic Robbie hits (and more!). He had everyone on their feet dancing all night long! 🙌🕺

A big thank-you as well to Tara Marie Armstrong, who kept the atmosphere buzzing, not only after Robbie’s set but also during the drinks reception. 🎤💫

What a night! Already looking forward to the next one. ❤️🎵
