COLCHESTER’S annual sports personality awards have been cancelled this year.

Organisers have reluctantly called off the event, due to take place in November, because of the covid-19 pandemic.

However, while undoubtedly a huge shame, it’s given us an excuse to rummage through our archives and dig out some pictures from yesteryear.

The Sport Colchester Sports Personality Awards were first made over 30 years ago and are recognised as one of the best of their kind in Essex.

They recognise and reward the success of individuals, teams and volunteers representing a variety of sports.

  • Have you got old pictures to share?

If so, we’d love to hear from you.
