Nominations are now open for the highest individual honour – that of life membership.
The process is that any nominations for that distinction, which should be directed to club stalwarts Steve Cuzens (stevecuzens@iinet.net.au) or Jarrod O’Rourke ( jarrad2@orourke.com.au, ) .
The criteria is as follows:
