Adam Robertson

Life Membership awarded in 1999.

Adam first became involved in senior athletics in 1985 due to his two children (Catherine and Stephen) moving up from Little Athletics. In his dedicated fashion, Adam volunteered

for the Committee the following year. Before long (1988) he was the club javelin and weight training/conditioning coach and has since coached athletes across all event groups, all

age groups and to World Junior Championships, World Uni Games, World Masters, Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games. A fabulous achievement.

Adam’s involvement also includes six years of Secretary (1990/91 to 1995/96) through the amalgamation period. Not only has Adam been involved in the club gym since 1988, he has

built the facilities and capacity of the gym to cater for growing membership. Adam sourced the equipment or gladly accepted donations from members who showed their gratitude for the

great work he has done for them.

For his volunteer work Adam was nominated by DAC and awarded an Australia Day award in 2004 and a Year of the Volunteer award in 2000 for service to the club.
