One year ago, West Wight Sports and Community Centre manager Clare Griffin won the Sunday Times Grassroots Sportswoman of the Year 2019 Award.
Now Clare has been invited to the 2020 Sportswoman of the Year awards and will be on a panel discussing the effect of Covid on grassroots sport.
Other panel members include Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds OBE. The panel will be chaired by Sunday Times sports journalist Rebecca Myers.
The awards night will be virtual this year and will be shown online on Wednesday, 25th November, from 18.30 to 19.30.
