For this week’s Bracknell Nostalgia, we will be staying in 2003 to remind ourselves of the first-ever Young People in Sport awards that took place that year.

Taking place in February 2003, the inaugural event was held at the Grange Hotel in the town to recognise the achievements of the talented sportspeople in the Borough of Bracknell Forest.
The format was conducted in a similar way to how the BBC Sports Personality of the Year is run, and with hundreds of nominees and with many in attendance, the event was a huge success.
