Service Awards

The Service Award recognises the long-term contribution of members to the management of the Club through their service on the Committee.

A Service Award may be granted to a current member who has served specific milestones on the Committee. The milestones that are recognised are Bronze (5 Years) and Silver (10 Years). In future, Gold (15 Years) and Platinum (20 Years) awards will be available.

The vast majority of Committee members over the Club's history have served for only a few years and then retired. A handful have stayed on for 5 years or more, and rarely received any formal acknowledgement of their contributions. An extended term of service benefits the Club by maximising efficiency of operations and utilisation of their experience. Thank you to the 2024 inaugural recipients for your work in making our Club successful.
