Congratulations to Mal Currie from Sunnybank LAC on being awarded LAQ Life Membership.

Mal has an absolute belief in, and total dedication to Little Athletics. From his first day at Sunnybank Centre, there was no doubt that Mal was, quite simply, sold on the benefits and opportunities that Little A’s provides both physically and socially to young athletes and their families.

He has been associated with Little Athletics for 29 years, as an active committee member at Sunnybank for 17 years, 12 of those as Centre Manager. He has dedicated himself to the running and development of Sunnybank and the South East Region.

Mal has provided invaluable support to the South East Region as equipment officer continuously over many years and continues to date. It even includes a few sleepovers on the High Jump mats to ensure all the equipment was safe overnight for the athletes!

He provides absolutely unwavering dedication to the Association at every LAQ event, at every location throughout the State, ensuring every event is set up with all required equipment for athletes, officials and parents to ensure that LAQ competitions and carnivals run smoothly for athletes, families and ultimately, the Association. He is always the first to arrive at our competitions and the very last to leave.

Mal displays a wonderful respect for his peers, athletes, families and officials alike, he leads by example and most certainly has the respect of the Little Athletics family far and wide.
