Hi all. I'd like to put together a small repo for Centos packages that I build on my machine, and make them available for other Centos users. Are there any guidlines for creating an officially endorsed Centos 3rd party repo please?

I do not think you will receive that. You could be added to http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories list, but even my repo and few others is not up there. Important part is to sign each packages so people truest it more. I never had time for that, but it is highly advisable if you want to be trusted. Ljubomir

You are talking about a community 3rd party repo. Rather than reinvent the wheel, why don't you just contribute (and maintain) your packages in an existing repository. RPMforge would be a good choice and I'm sure would welcome your contribution. What packages did you have in mind? Are you sure they don't exist somewhere already?
