The Kiama District Sports Association held its 2020 Annual General Meeting last night the Kiama Leagues Club.

The 2020 AGM of the Kiama Sports Association not only again elected Col Rathbone (right) as its President, but also made him their first Life Member. Col has been President of the Association since it was formed in 1969.

“Col has been the backbone of the KDSA since its inception and devotes endless hours working for all sports within the municipality,” says the Secretary, John Dawson.

“He voluntarily coordinates the bookings of all of Kiama’s sporting fields on behalf of Council, liaises with Council on behalf of the clubs and associations and is the main point of call for any issue that may arise.”

It was noted while revising the existing constitution (circa 1979), to allow for Life Members, that the position of Patron had never been filled. No one knows why. The obvious choice was the Mayor of Kiama, Mark Honey, not only for his current role, but also as he was a founding member of the Association.
