Jeff Chambers

Life Membership awarded in 1986.

Though he was a key member of our Association Premiership teams in the mid 1970s Jeff cemented his place in the club’s history when he took our first National title – the

Under 20 5000m. As Jeff moved up to senior competition he became an important member of our developing teams that were to lift the club to the top levels in Victoria in both

winter and summer competitions. Along with his many individual highlights another historical performance was his role as a member of the Doncaster team that set a new

Australian record for the 12 hour relay.

Off the track Jeff made his presence felt on the General Committee and as a member of the Marketing Committee which played such an important role in raising finance to

support the club’s development. In 1985/86 he was appointed as our delegate to the VAAA Council – a key position which he filled for many years.
