VOLUNTEER AWARD: Wattles Rugby League Football Club president Glyn Rees has won the Condamine Sports Club Volunteer of the Year award.
The award was presented at the Daily News/Warwick Credit Union Sports Star of the Year dinner at the Hawker Rd Function Centre.
He is the sixth winner of an award started by the Condamine Sports Club to recognise the work of volunteers. The current award is based half on volunteer work in 2018 and half on volunteer work down the years.
Rees first became involved in rugby league on the Southern Downs when he was elected to the committee of the Collegians Junior Rugby League Club in 1989.
He was secretary of Collegians for one year and president for two years before his family moved to Allora and he became involved with Wattles at senior level.
He was secretary of Wattles for six years, secretary of the Toowoomba Rugby League for five years and has been Wattles president for the past 18 months.
In 1992, he was elected president of the Warwick and District Junior Rugby League, a role he filled for a period of five years.
He was also registrar, secretary, treasurer and vice-president during a quarter of a century of involvement with the league.
Rees is a life member of Wattles senior club, the Warwick and District Junior Rugby League, Queensland Rugby League South West Division, QRL Central Division and the Allora Cricket Club.
Last night, trophies were presented to Warwick Hockey Association official Angela Groves to recognise 15 years of dedicated work, especially with juniors, and to David O'Leary who has held multiple volunteer roles with the Warwick Cowboys and Collegians rugby league juniors for the past two decades.
