John Hall Memorial Service Award made to Alan Holland

On the 5th December Saltbush Orienteer member Alan Holland was surprised to receive the John Hall Memorial Service Award which was conveyed firstly by Rob Tucker and then by John Lyon through a video link.  His service to the club from 1985 through his mapping of areas, producing new maps, updating and converting of older maps to colour, involvement in the administration of the club from 1986, and organisation and participation in events during this time was recognised by the club.  To quote Greg Hancock "He is and has been a very essential contributor to our club and relied upon by all course setters over many years....Alan has a great love for the sport and will continue to do whatever he can for our club in the future."
