Awarded every year by popular vote, the member of the year is awarded to the member who best represents a “Strommer”.
Peter Coote
Peter was the inaugural winner of this award.
Being a founding member and admin on the Facebook page, he was named member of the year for his outstanding commitments to helping members, always offering support and setting an example of what an Austrom member should be. You are sorely missed by everyone Peter.
2018 Member of the Year (Peter Coote Memorial Award)
Mark Ferguson
Mark was awarded the Peter Coote memorial award for 2018 for his unflagging work organising the 2nd birthday event, constantly providing support and advice to members, organising events, and holding up all the traditions that Peter Coote set in place, but most of all for his service to the tradition of “Room 25”.
2019 Member of the Year (Peter Coote Memorial Award)
Matt Farquharson
Matt was voted “Member of the Year: for 2019” after a long discussion and a poll between all the members of the admin group.
Among the reasons put forward with the votes are such comments as:
“Always goes the extra mile”
“Always ready to assist when someone has a query” and my favourite:
“Because the award has to stay in Queensland” <grin>
Whatever the reason – congratulations Matt! You deserve it.
