While the above list of achievement is significant, it is his involvement directly with the League that I feel should be recognized with a life membership.  His achievements are as follows:-

·         John is the Leagues unofficial historian, with his work leading up to the NGFNL 50 year celebration exceptional in filling out the many gaps in the leagues records.

·         His history pieces in the Tagger are very much a part of the Grand Final Tagger tradition from year to year

·         John is a quiet, modest achiever with a real passion for Football.

·         In talking to John over the years he has a great feel for what is fair and just in our game of football.

Daryl first became involved as the Nambrok Football club delegate from 1988 through to 1990.

Daryl followed his son to Rosedale and became a club delegate in 1994 or 1995 through to the formation of the Board system in 2000

Daryl was an inaugural member of the Board in 2000 and in 2001 was elected League Vice President a position he held also in 2002.  He got the travel bug in 2003 but stayed on the Board as a Director, a position he held through to last season when he took over the role of President which he held until 2008.  As you will all be aware, Daryl’s forte since being on the Board is Sponsorship, and almost single handedly Daryl has raised for the League a figure of in excess of $160,000 over the past 7 seasons.

There is a lot more value in Daryl to the League & Clubs than just what he raises in Sponsorship.  Daryl is a people’s person and communicates well to Supporters, Players, Officials, fellow Board members as well as the corporate world in his role as President and Sponsorship Director.
