Mr Lloyd Ohlin of the Shepparton Golf Club has been awarded the Goulburn Murray District Volunteer of the Year 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n
GMGA Women\u2019s Captain Mandy Faram, deputising for President David Roberts presented the Award to Lloyd at a luncheon at the Shepparton Golf Club on Thursday 15 April.\u00a0 Although Lloyd\u2019s win of the award was announced at the GMGA Delegates meeting in late March, it was agreed that it would be best, more appropriate and more fun to make the presentation to Lloyd at a luncheon with his colleagues, mates and other Shepparton Golf Club members where his work can be fully acknowledged.<\/p>\n
In addition to recognition of Mr Ohlin\u2019s work, the GMGA Committee wish to publicly thank Mr David Quinn of Valley Sports who organised the judging, which kept the GMGA Committee at arm\u2019s length from the decision making.<\/p>\n
Lloyd Ohlin has been a volunteer contributor at the Shepparton Golf Club for many years and over that time as well as serving on the Committee he has supervised the extension of the Clubhouse, building of the pro shop, building of machinery shed and pump stations.\u00a0 However, in concentrating on the Volunteer of the Year; with emphasis on \u201cthe year\u201d; it was Lloyd\u2019s continual work ethic and his mentoring of apprentice staff in welding and mechanical maintenance and ensuring machines were always in working order for extensive works carried out during Covid 19 restrictions that convinced the judges that Lloyd was truly \u201cof the year\u201d.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the best summary of Lloyd Ohlin\u2019s contribution can be found in a paragraph from the entry submitted by Shepparton GC Manager Mr Russ Powell, quote:\u00a0 \u201cHe has always practiced with a hands on approach and has shared his expertise willingly.\u00a0 Lloyd goes about his volunteer duties with a minimum of fuss and is a quiet achiever.\u00a0 His contribution as a volunteer is outstanding.\u00a0 He is reliable, loyal and his kind nature is exemplary to all\u201d.<\/p>\n
Well done and congratulations Mr Lloyd Ohlin.\u00a0 The GMGA is pleased to recognise your contribution.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
