VALE ALF RICHARDSON

Club members will be saddened to hear of the recent passing of Alf Richardson.

Alf was member of the club for over 70 years having joined soon after the Club reformed following World War II.  As the only stair-maker in the North-East Alf was deeply involved with the construction of the lodge in 1948/49.  He was also particularly adept at working through any problems with Falls Creek Management.  Alf also built the original 4WD vehicle that serviced the Club and lodge as well as serving on Committee for 7 years.  In 1952, Alf was appointed Team Manager of a North East ski team that travelled to New Zealand to compete against a NZ team.

In recognition of his hard work and input in the early years of the club, Alf was honoured with Life Membership in 2000


Throughout all of these achievements, Alf remained a modest and quietly spoken man and, on behalf of all members, the Committee sends its heartfelt condolences to the Richardson family.
 

Until Next Time.
