She has also helped with other roles on a general committee.
Club representatives described how Karen provides the equivalent hours of a part-time job in working for the club.
She is in charge of membership as well as finances for the club that operates 12 months of the year across four different sports – football, netball, cricket and hockey.
The club submission: “This adds extra complexities to Karen’s role that she always takes within her stride. She is always willing to lend a hand and we are very fortunate to have her at the NDSC. Karen is a club life-member, which reflects all of her hard work over many, many years. It is people like her that allow all of our clubs to survive and prosper.”
