Local Barry Knight (at left) was a finalist for Volunteer of the Year at the 2021/2022 Little Athletics NSW Awards dinner held at Ettalong on Saturday night. And while he didn’t win, Barry reckons he may have “conned” retired Australian sprinter, Melinda Gainsford-Taylor (also pictured above with Barry’s son Troy, who is the Cobar Little A’s Club president) into coming out to do some coaching in the western region. The annual awards also recognise the Coach of the Year, the Official of the Year, Young Volunteer of the Year, Administrator of the Year and Centre of the Year. ▪ Photo contributed
