Pioneer Awards

Nominations NOW OPEN!

Well, it is that time of year when the ANFA opens nominations for the prestigious 'ANFA Pioneer Awards'.

The awards again will take place at Sydney Dragway on Saturday evening 16th November with a Nostalgia event to occur the next day.

We are improving on last year with the fun and frivolity and we will also be holding a 'Racers Auction' which our group has already starting putting items in place.  This alone will be cool.

We have also added a Posthumous category in the nomination section, so if you feel inclined to nominate one of our past greats (even in your eyes only) please feel free to do so.

After the nominations close on 31st July, the list will be presented to the ANFA AGM on Sunday 4th August 2013 where a ballot will be held to select three ANFA members, and they alone will determine the final recipients.

The final list will be published once the potential recipients have been contacted and invited to attend.  This takes sometimes up to three weeks alone to locate people.

Nominations may NOT include any of the previous recipients, or those who have been recognized Posthumously (with the previous sixteen posthumous already adorning the wall at Sydney Dragway).

2012: Warren & Freddie Armour, Graham Hussey, Jim & Nelma Reed, Joe Gatt, John English and Dennis Syrmis

2012 Posthumous: Milton Adey (2010), Mick Atholwood (2012), Charlie Dennis (1979), David Missingham (), Mark Stewart (2012), Bob St Lawrence (2009), Maurice Allen (1994) and Bert Jones (2000)

2011: Eddie Thomas, Bob & Maureen Dunn, Graeme Cowin & Wendy Johns, Peter & Brian Keegan and David Cook

2011 Posthumous: Roly Leahy (2009), John Lumb (2011), Bruce Phillips (1991), John Storm (1974), Doug Stewart (2007), Wayne Rowe (2010), Lester James (1980) and Graham Scholes (1978)

Please note;  These are NOMINATIONS only, NOT votes.  So if a person gets nominated 1 or 50 times, it only counts as 1 nomination.  As mentioned above, the process that the nominations will take after 31st July only allows for a single nomination.
