President’s Award

Nick Dent (CCO) and Ron Pallas (Uringa)

For their many years of work in organising and running the 2024 Australian Championships. Nick for his vision in how the carnival would be run as a spectacular event with large screen TV and radio controls, spectator friendly common arena with great commentary. Nick was also the technical director which ensured quality in all aspects of the carnival. The concept of a team approach to the running of the carnival was also a vision of Nick’s and worked very well to provide consistency over the whole carnival.

Ron was the worker behind the finish and all start lists and Eventor entries for all seven days. He oversaw the finish team to ensure that results were managed well.

Maurice Anker and Don Barker, Northern Tablelands Club
