Happy National Volunteering Week – Day Four!

Today we celebrate not one, but two hard working volunteers Julie and Michael O’Brien who have been volunteering in Victoria for 16 years now.

Calling the Eastern Lions Kart Club home, both Julie and Michael were introduced to the sport by their son’s friend before the bug hit and everybody was hooked.

When asked What has been the most memorable event that you’ve been a part of and why? The O’Brien’s responded “There are probably too many to mention. We love club days and even open meetings where everyone gets together. We think the Junior events are always exciting because the kids get so much out of the events. To see their faces and hear about their racing experience when they come into the canteen after their race.
But really the most memorable event was when we watched our son run his first race and when he won for the first time. We were extremely proud of his efforts and hard work.”

Both Julie and Michael are integral members of the Eastern Lions Kart Club and are heavily involved with the running of the canteen with the wonderful group of people that volunteer their time and effort to make it successful whilst Michael also is involved in operating the track lights during a meeting.

What’s the most rewarding part about being a volunteer?
“The most rewarding part about being a volunteer is the good friends we have made along the way. Watching young children progress from karting to other forms of motor sport.”

When asked about Julie and Michael O’Brien, Eastern Lions Kart Club President Steve Pegg added they epitomise what volunteering is all about working tirelessly in the background never looking for any recognition. We are extremely lucky to have them at our club.

Across the rest of the week, Karting Australia will shine some light on more of the backbones of our sport, from the Canteen, to technical, Officials and grounds keepers to show we thank them, and everything they do!

Happy National Volunteering Week – Day Three!

Today, Karting Australia heads to South Australia to recognise a very dedicated volunteer of 10 years, Ian Watson.

Ian holds various roles not only within his club, but also within the Karting South Australian Association as the State Track inspector and the Vice State President and is also a passionate member of the @southern_go_kart_club

When Ian and his family were looking to find a sport to be associated with, one of his workmates had been karting for a number of years and had explained to me how he and his family had made lifelong friends from karting even after they had left the sport. So, we went to a come and try day people were very friendly and joined the next week.

What’s the most rewarding part about being a volunteer?
“At club level it’s about watching not only your club, but all clubs improve and grow, and helping people to advance in the sport.”

Ian is currently the grounds and Infrastructure manager, track safety officer, conduct inductions and was previously the membership Secretary at Southern Go Kart Club who recently held round Three of the 2021 SP Tools Australian Kart Championship and on club days I am First Aid officer, occasionally a Steward and fill in in the canteen when they need help or do any tasks that need doing.

What has been the most memorable event that you’ve been a part of and why?
“AKC this year. It was a big event that the club hadn’t held for a long time and none of the current committee had been involved in an event of that size before. Was very proud to be part of a team that did a great job that highlighted what our club was capable of.”

Across the rest of the week, Karting Australia will shine some light on more of the backbones of our sport, from the Canteen, to technical, Officials and grounds keepers to show we thank them, and everything they do!

National Volunteer Week is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteers. From Monday 17th to Sunday 23rd May 2021, NVW will celebrate the significant contribution of Australia’s almost six million volunteers. Each year these volunteers dedicate over 600 million hours to help others.

Today, Karting Australia would like to thank Michael Parsons who first became involved at the Newcastle Kart Racing Club back in 1985 after heading down for a look before becoming hooked.

“I have made some great and lifelong friends from all over Australia thanks to karting who I enjoy catching up with when I’m in town. “

“There have been so many moments over the years that have involved different aspects of the sport both as a racer and an official.
I would like to thank all those people who have helped and guided me on my journey and who have taught me to become a better racer and official, my wife and kids for putting up with me and my passion and for all the weekends I have been away doing the sport we all love whilst seeing kids and parents with smiles on their faces having a crack weather winning or just doing their best.”

From everybody across Australia, thank you Michael for everything you do for karting. Without Officials like you who devote endless hours back into the sport we all love, none of us would have a place to go and race.

Across the rest of the week, Karting Australia will shine some light on some of the backbones of our sport, from the Canteen, to technical, Officials and grounds keepers to show we thank them, and everything they do!

They share the highest of highs and are always there for the lowest of lows, along with everything in between. Whenever something needs doing, they get it done - from sorting lunch to changing an engine - they don't have to be asked twice if it's going help their children.
