Long-time ONSW admin officer and Uringa committee member Dave Lotty has been nominated for a Distinguished Long Service award at the annual NSW Sports Federation presentation night later this month.
Dave, who retired in November 2010 after a phenomenal 37 years running the daily operations of Orienteering NSW, is one of 20 nominees in that category.
A life member of ONSW, Dave was a gun track athlete prior to taking up our sport in November 1971 - that's even before Gough Whitlam became Prime Minister!
These days he co-ordinates the expansion Southern Sydney Summer Series and does loads of mapping for schools, parks and bush.
He has produced all 14 versions of the Centennial Park map that now hosts a permanent course.
