The Volunteer Outstanding Service Award is presented to a volunteer who has given outstanding service to his or her club over many years. We are very fortunate to boast several fabulous volunteers. Special congratulations to this year’s finalists Karen Flynn (Mandurah, Rae Faulkner (Applecross) and Lorraine Plummer (Hills Districts) all outstanding nominees – thank you all for your dedication to your clubs and your contribution to our wonderful sport.


On behalf of numerous members of both Hills and CAWA we are very proud to announce Lorraine Plummer as the 2022 CAWA Club's Volunteer of the Year Award.



Lorraine has been a dedicated club member since her daughter Sarah joined Hill in 1998. From that date on she has been involved as a committee member, working tirelessly both within the club and as a club representative at association level. In face, we don't remember a time when she hasn't been involved in some way!


Lorraine's club committee involvement has included:

1998 - 2022  - Member, Hills Graceful Solo Organizing Committee

2000 - 2022 - Club Equipment Officer

2000 - 2022 - Hills Competition Committee Representative

2009 - Team Manager, Beginner Section

2009 - Team Manager, Sub Junior 3/4 Section

2010 - Team Manager, Beginner Section

2010 - Team Manager, Sub Junior 3/4 Section

2011 - 2020 - Team Manager, Junior Section


Lorraine has represented Hills at CAWA Competitions for over two decades - a huge undertaking in anybody's terms. Because of her unending support in this area, Hills rosters are always covered.


Similarly, the equipment officer role has been efficiently coordinated by Lorraine for the past 22 years

with equipment readily available to all sections. Lorraine personally visits each class to ensure the girls are all fitted correctly.


Team managing ins on of the most time consuming and difficult roles in any club with the junior team

manager required to put aside two days per week to ensure that the team in well supported. Lorraine has undertaken team manger duties many years and on retirement she offered to fill in as required.


On to of these duties Lorraine has always made herself available to assist with costuming, running up dozens of leotards over the years. Always eager to help out, just one phone call and Lorraine will be driving around the metro area collecting material, uniforms, trophies - in fact anything we ask her to chase up - always with a smile!


Lorraine is a staunch supporter of the 'Hills Graceful Solo Competition', giving her time over the full weekend and filling rosters where needed.


Together with her husband Andy, Lorraine has also volunteered many, many hours towards ensuring that CAWA State Team runs well. Nothing is too difficult for Lorraine.


Lorraine is a warm and generous lady who has been a constant source of support to many club  members over the years; always actively working towards making people feel welcome. Her loyalty,

hard work and dedication to both Hills and CAWA is indeed beyond reproach.


We consider Lorraine a true friend and an irreplaceable club and association member and believe that she is extremely worthy of the CAWA Volunteer of the Year award.


Congratulations Lorraine. So well deserved.
