In 2020, the Club’s Committee introduced a new level of recognition – the Service Star.
The Service Star sits between the Service Award and Life Membership, and is awarded as recognition of Dedicated Service to the Club for a member who has been actively involved in Club activities on a continual basis. The Service Star may be awarded to multiple winners in any given year.
A nominee must have:
- prior receipt of the Service Award
- completed a minimum period of five years of membership
- given Dedicated Service to the Club for a period in excess of five years
The first of these awards were presented on 13 March 2021, recognising the dedicated service of many long-standing members:
