COMMUNITY AWARDS: County Times jogs Good Sport’s memory as he recalls award win
Tony Johnson, 53, picked up the Good Sport award for his efforts in the campaign against the closure of Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre.
Although the facility is to close, it is likely to be replaced by a more contemporary sports centre, making the County Times-backed campaign something of a success.

Hide AdTony said that a number of his fellow campaigners also deserved the award.
He said: “I felt a bit of a fraud because I was given it on the back of work from other people, so it should have been a joint thing - I have just got the biggest mouth!”
Tony admitted that being called to stage was ‘quite peculiar and a little bit surreal’, but celebrated the importance of the Community Awards evening.
He said: “It brought a community feel to the town which is really important, I think. It was Horsham as a community rather than as a business, which is how it can feel sometimes, and it is vital for any town.
