Macedon Ranges’ Citizen of the Year for 2024, Tony Davis, has won another accolade.
Tony won the Volunteer Commitment Award at the Victorian Volunteer Awards at Government House last Tuesday.
A dedicated figure in the sporting community, his commitment to volunteering spans more than five decades, including as a founding member of Kyneton Little Athletics.
Tony has been a steadfast volunteer every Saturday morning for 53 years, holding roles such as secretary, starter, line marker, and representative at regional and state conferences. His humble and kind demeanour, coupled with unwavering dedication, has played a pivotal role in fostering the growth and success of Kyneton Little Athletics, where he continues to make a lasting impact at the age of 83.
Tony said that while he was proud to receive the award there were a lot of people who helped along the way.
“My wife Margaret has been with little aths and me for nearly 60 years, we started together before we were married at Oakleigh Little Aths,” he said.
“And there’s always been people on the committee and others who have given me support.
“I love the interaction with the kids, it’s what gives you the most enjoyment, and if you get pleasure in doing something then just keep doing it!”
