Congratulations from South Leeds Life to The Holbeck who are now an award-winning club in south Leeds.
Club Mirror are an organisation that champion and support licensed clubs across the country and they organise The Club Awards.
At their award ceremony on 16 November at the Athena in Leicester, The Holbeck jointly won Community Club of the Year along with the Village Club RAOB and Innovative Club of the Year. Additionally, The Holbeck Moor FC won Diversity Club of the Year (from the North).
As The Holbeck enters a new era Caroline Turner, president of the club told us:
“All of the committee and all of our members are proud of our club. Thank you to Slung Low for the last four years and we wish them luck with their new home.”
Alan Lane from Slung Low is delighted with the recognition from The Club Awards as they finalise their move to new premises;
“We were so all so pleased to see that the activity of the club – all the brilliant stuff that happens in The Holbeck – was recognised at the highest level in clubland. It’s been a real privilege for Slung Low to manage the club for the last four years. And a really great sense of achievement not only to leave it debt-free, physically accessible and profitable but also now double award winning! A wonderful recognition of all that is great about the club over the last year.”
The Holbeck is located at Jenkinson Lawn, LS11 9QX
