Nominations Life Membership and Distinguished Service Awards

The Honours committee is seeking nominations of members who may qualify for Life Membership of MLSC or a Distinguish Service Award.
Each nomination should set out clearly in very short form the service performed by the proposed person for the award and extraordinary aspect of that service. The Honours Committee if required will seek further information. Each nomination is to be in writing and proposed and seconded by a member of MLSC.
Please understand that nomination will not automatically lead to a successful application as the nominated person must meet the relevant criteria and be approved by the Board of MLSC and in the case of a Life Member the nomination is to be further approved by the Life Members and the AGM.
Any nomination should be received by the Secretary by 7th March 2019, so that it can be properly considered.

Please email admin@manlylsc.com with you completed nominations or they can also be dropped the the office during opening hours.
