“Personal meaning is the way we connect to a wider team purpose. If our values and beliefs are aligned with the values and beliefs of the organisation, then we will work harder towards its success. If not, our individual motivation and purpose will suffer, and so will the organisation.”
― James Kerr, Legacy
Below is the current list of Life Members for our club.
Please note there are no records of life members prior to 1922. It is possible that the club records are incomplete or that the club did not appoint life members at that time. But there are many people who were instrumental in forming the club and keeping it going during those early years.
