Awarded Honorary Life Membership in 1991.
Nomination
Honorary Life Membership was given to Alan Vidler on 14 September 1991 at the Club’s Thirtieth Anniversary celebration. The award was in recognition of the extensive contribution Alan had given to the Club since he became a member in 1963 (actually 1973) and in particular his participation on the Committee, the more than 170 walks he led and his work as official Club record keeper.
Recipient of the inaugural Greg Buckley award
The Greg Buckley Award was established by his parents as a perpetual annual award in memory of their son who died of viral pneumonia in April 1990 while walking in Nepal. The purpose of the award is to acknowledge the efforts of a Club member who is considered to have made a particular contribution to bushwalking. Alan Vidler is the inaugural recipient of the award.
