The Darrell Freeland Award for Service to the Local Game has been decided by a Football in Berkshire panel, and will be presented as the final award on the night.
A team of 20 judges have read the stories, taken note of the number of nominations and voted for their top three in each category. Those scores have all been added up to make the short list.
The awards ceremony itself will be hosted by Guardian Football Weekly podcast regular, author of Up Pohnpei! and co-host of The Sweeper podcast, Paul Watson, at Double-Barrelled Brewery in Reading.
The venue is accessible by train from Reading Station and the number 17 bus, or Tilehurst station. There is also plenty of parking available.
Doors open at 6pm and dinner is part of your ticket. Food this year is provided by Rural Pie Co.
The evening will include a performance by Burghfield Uncommon before the awards kick-off, and The Small Strings will perform at half-time and full-time.
