Scholarship Policy
This scholarship is available due to a generous bequest from Life Member Mr Allen Patrick Smith (aka ‘Paddy Smith”) who passed away in 2008 and the ongoing efforts of the current committee.
Paddy was a member of the club during the 1940s and 50s. He was a distance runner predominantly, and competed over all distances, winning races at every distance. Paddy was Tasmanian Cross-Country Champion from 1954 to 1956 inclusive.
In 1956, he had the honour of being an Olympic torch relay bearer as it crossed Tasmania.
Paddy retired from running at 33 years of age, however continued to maintain an interest in the club. He believed that running was for everyone, young and old, the brilliant and the battlers.
The scholarship policy can be found here.
