David Bacon Presidential Awards for 2020 - 2021

Peter Clarke • October 3, 2021

Presidents are only as great the team supporting them.

With our Changeover meeting cancelled we didn't get a chance to celebrate and acknowledge the great contributions our members make to the year that was 2020 to 2021.

David took the time in this weeks meeting to acknowledge the members that stood out to him in making his year as president a successful one.

The Presidents Awards - David Bacon

End of year recognitions 2021

One of the prerogatives of the President is to recognise some members who he has considered have served then Club with distinction during the year. I have decided to exercise that privilege.

In a volunteer organisation such as this, a lot of logistical work goes on behind the scenes to make things happen. Stuff needs to be moved around, stuff needs to be bought, things need to be organised, people

need to be contacted and badgered.

So my first award goes to Jeff Gay. Jeff is the king of movements. With his trusty van he goers to Sydney to collect flowers for mothers’ day stalls and keep them supplied on the day. The material need

for MUNA is another mammoth effort and who bumps it in and out - Jeff Gay. And he’s always on hand to do a lot of other stuff, not to mention be the club’s photographer and one of the organisers of our car rally.

Congratulations Jeff.

Another mover and shaker is Clive Blunt. Clive is the keeper of the BBQ trailer and I think most of the other big items belonging to the club. For future reference, don’t tell anyone you have a big garage. The trailer is in bigger demand these days and has to be moved around, registered, cleaned and resourced.

The logistics of MUNA has also been on Clive’s agenda, not to mention also being the club’s treasurer and a key organiser of our Boots fundraiser dinner.

Congratulations Clive.

In a club such as this, projects and events don’t happen unless someone leads them and in a volunteer organisation does most of the organising work. A hugely successful event for this club and one which has promise to grow bigger in the coming years is out mothers’ day flower stalls. The person responsible for introducing and driving that project is Robyn Parker. Robyn also perseveres in organising both the Peter Turnbull Community Service Awards and the Bob Ward Vocational Awards. I am grateful for your efforts this year.

Congratulations Robyn.

Please join me in thanking Jeff, Clive and Robyn.
