The Sports Journalists' Association (SJA) is expecting many sporting stars to attend its 62nd annual British sports awards lunch on 8 December.
Several servicemen and women will also be there because the SJA is supporting the Tickets for Troops charity.
The event, which is being staged in London at The Brewery, will be hosted by the SJA's president, Michael Parkinson, and presented by Jim Rosenthal and John Inverdale.
Among the contenders for the SJA's awards are golfer Graeme McDowell and his Ryder Cup team mates; Olympic skeleton bob gold medal winner Amy Williams; diving tyro Tom Daley; gymnastics world champion Beth Tweddle; spin bowler Graeme Swann; top jockey AP McCoy; swimmer Rebecca Adlington; and heptathlete Jessica Ennis.
The winners are chosen by the vote of SJA members who witness at first hand the achievements of sporting figures. That's why the awards have retained their credibility since they were first inaugurated in 1948.
Tickets for the three-course lunch plus wine (naturally) are still available. They're £80 plus VAT for SJA members; and a table of 10 booked by non-SJA members can be had for £1,200, plus VAT.
