HALLIDAY AWARD
This award was originally created in memory of Mrs Jo Halliday, who was instrumental in the development of the sport in its early days. Mrs Halliday held many positions on the Board of Management and was an outstanding volunteer who’s service spanned 40 years. From 2013 the award was renamed the “Halliday Award” in memory of both Jo and her son Ian who was a Life Member of the Association, Chairperson of Theatre Management, State Team Treasurer and pianist for both State and club teams during their respective competitions.
The recipient of this award is a dedicated volunteer, who has given much time and effort to the Association. Board of Management put forward nominations each year for consideration by the Halliday family.
