2024 Shaping Up Nicely For The NAFESE Team

It has been a busy opening year for the team at National Armed Forces and Emergency Services Events (NAFESE) Team, with 2023 seeing the inaugural NAFESE taking place at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland on Thursday April 27.

The 2023 Services Awards followed their opening event in June 2023, once more at the Stadium of Light, with two successful specialist events for the Armed Forces taking place after this in July with Everything ELCAS at Catterick Leisure Centre and Troops Into Transportation, Logistics and Engineering (TTLE), which took place at The REME Museum in September.

Now plans are afoot for a follow up event for TTLE in the North at Catterick Leisure Centre on February 8, 2024 and the rescheduled Everything ELCAS 2 event at Andover Leisure Centre on Friday March 1, 2024.

The second annual NAFESE will take place on Thursday May 16, 2024 once again at the Stadium of Light, whilst the 2024 Services Awards will happen on Thursday July 4, 2024. There will be a new addition for 2024 in the shape of the 2024 Services Sports Awards which will be held on Thursday April 11 once again at their spiritual home at the Stadium of Light as Events Manager, Sam Rosenthal takes up the story.

“We had quite a lot of nominations for the 2023 Services Awards connected to sport and also a lot of people asking if it was worth producing a separate event for this and the answer was of course - yes!.”

Sam added, “all of our events have been well received this year and we can’t wait for 2024 to go again once more.”
