AWARDS NIGHT
This year, the awards program culminated in a gala awards presentation evening at the Dungog Memorial RSL Club on Saturday 12 May 2018. The winners and runners up were announced with lots of audience participation and encouragement.
Our theme for the night was the “Commemoration of the end of the First World War, 1918’s inspired attire”. In true Dungog tradition many of our guests dressed in attire from the period. Special mention to BCA National Training Group’s Nicola Lloyd looked the part dressed in a nurses uniform.
All the Award recipients were very humble with Jim Olsen’s acceptance speech a stand out. Jim who was presented the Hall of Fame award by Rebecca Todd of Mai-Wel LabourForce Solutions said, “There has been an Olsen opening the doors at Davey & Olsen every morning for 99 years, and I hope there will be an Olsen opening the doors for many more.”
