This award was originally created in memory of Mrs Jo Halliday, who was instrumental in the development of the sport in its early days. Mrs Halliday held many positions on the Board of Management and was an outstanding volunteer whose service spanned 40 years. The award has recently been renamed the “Halliday Award” in memory of both Jo and her son Ian who passed away four years ago.
