Every club has people who deserve to be remembered. Christmas is a natural moment to pause and ask who that might be. Not who should be marketed to, or sold to, but who should be honoured for helping the club become what it is.

Think about one person

It might be Dad. It might be Mum. It might be Grandad, a coach, a captain or the volunteer who has always been there without asking for attention. A good Heritage story begins with one person and one reason their contribution matters.

Why the question matters

The question “Who would you honour this Christmas?” invites reflection before commitment. It encourages families, supporters and committee members to think about the people who made the club feel welcoming, resilient and memorable.

What happens next

Once someone is in mind, the club can decide whether a Heritage Tile or another recognition format is appropriate. The key is to begin with the person and the story, then work out the right way to express it.

Learn how Heritage works. If there is someone you would honour this Christmas, the next step is simple: learn how Heritage works and see how the recognition process is structured around the club’s own story.
