Call for nominations for end of season club awards and life membership

The committee have opened nominations for the following end of season club awards:

  • Jim Cairns Best Club person
  • Junior Club person of the year
  • Life membership

The requirements for each award are as follows:

Jim Cairns Best Club person

Otherwise known as the volunteer of the year, this award is reserved for a club member who goes above and beyond for the club during the season. Usually seeking minimal recognition, but supporting the club in a way that we could not do without.

The recipient of this award cannot be a committee member, life member, or previous winner. 

Junior Club person of the year

Like the Jim Cairns best club person, this award recognises a person under the age of 18 who volunteers and support the club. This award exists to reflect the great service of a young person giving back to the club in a big way. 

Life membership 

Life membership is the highest honour a person can receive at the Ringwood Football & Netball Club, with 81 people having received the honour in the clubs 129 year history. 

Once a person is eligible for life membership, their nomination will be considered by the committee, with unanimous agreement required from the committee for admission as a life member. Eligibility for consideration as a life member does not guarantee admission. To meet non-playing eligibility requirement, a person must satisfy the following as per the club by-laws.
