Huge congratulations to our Tania Stevenson on receiving a 2026 Fairfax Volunteer Award. Tania has been tireless in her pursuit of sponsorships, raising money for our club and charity. In addition, Tania organises the annual Track Fest and is always there supporting our track and cross country meets.

As Ted O'Brien said at the ceremony, “Volunteers are the backbone of our community and it is my pleasure to recognise their contribution to community activities such as coaching, fund-raising or other volunteering.”

Well done, Tania! Make sure you push some of Ben’s trophies to the side so your certificate is front and centre.
