This year Atherstone Town Council has decided to introduce a new annual award, dedicated to former councillor the late Ruby Chambers.

The Ruby Chambers Sports Award will be given to an under-18 in the Atherstone community who has overcome adversity to realise a sporting achievement in the last year.

The late Cllr Chambers was Mayor of Atherstone in 2009 and dedicated much of her life to furthering the opportunities for young and disadvantaged members of the community.

Described as having a natural affinity with young people and always the champion of the underdog, this award will go to a young person who embodies that spirit.

Cllr Ray Jarvis once described Ruby as "fiercely independent, a real fighter for a good cause, generous, kind and convinced that everyone has the potential to be more than they think can be."

If you know a young person who displays this determination and persistence, then please write to the council to town council at [email protected], or post your nominations to PO Box 2000, Atherstone, CV9 1YN.
