Club Person of the Year 2025-26 

The
Club Person of the Year celebrates a parent, athlete or volunteer who has made a significant contribution to the club during the 2025-26 season. The recipient will have shown qualities like leadership, sportsmanship, positivity, dedication, and a strong commitment to our club. 

We encourage all Gecko families to nominate someone who deserves this award.  Voting will open for families in the week following the close of nominations.

Lifetime Membership
The 
Lifetime Membership Award is not given every year; rather, it is awarded when individuals within the club are identified for their exceptional contributions over many years. Nominations for this prestigious award are open throughout the season, with all submissions being reviewed and determined by the committee.

Our Lifetime Members demonstrate outstanding dedication, leadership, and service, playing an essential role in the club’s success and impact on the community. This award not only celebrates their past achievements but also stands as a lasting tribute to their ongoing commitment and passion for Gungahlin Athletics Club.

The end of the season is the perfect time to consider and submit nominations for Lifetime Members, recognising those members who have consistently made outstanding contributions to the club.
 -----------------------

We look forward to hearing about all the amazing individuals who make our club so special!  If you have any questions about either of these awards, please get in touch with the committee.
