Bill Chambers

Life Membership awarded in 1982.

Though Bill played many important roles in the club he will best be  remembered for mustering the club’s personnel in our climb to A Grade level in both winter and summer competition.

Bill is affectionately known as ‘The Godfather’ as a result of his aggressive pursuit of registrations and his dedication to the task of managing our top senior teams. The renaming of the

Doncaster to Park Orchards 8km Handicap to the Bill Chambers Handicap in 1989 recognized the respect that the club had for his input to our development. Bill retired from the Committee

after 16 years of outstanding service.
