Ivan Harding

Life Membership awarded in 1993.

Ivan came to the club with some six years of experience in key roles in the Doncaster Little Athletics Centre and was quickly recognized as an important asset to help with the

conduct of our Venue competition. He was rapidly promoted from Starters Marshall to Track Referee and made good use of his organizing skills to help keep our overcrowded

timetable running smoothly. In the cross country season he was a key Association timekeeper and announcer.

Ivan joined the club committee in 1983/84 and in 1984/85 he took over as President from Hal Grix, a position he held through to 1992/93 when the two clubs merged. The strength

of the club both administratively and competitively owes much to his strong leadership through these years. 

Ivan continues to be a key member of the DAC Committee not only due to his experience in running a club, but because of his long and successful history of dealing with the

Manningham City Council.
