Volunteer Awards 2024/25 season
Last night, Baypark Speedway held its annual gathering for staff and volunteers, where our two Volunteers of the Year were awarded with their Speedway New Zealand Plaque and certificates.
Congratulations to
🌟Colin Smith
Colin serves as our Infield Bunker presenter for the Bay Per View, but more importantly, he is our speedway encyclopedia, boasting a wealth of knowledge and information. He is always willing to lend a hand to anyone at the track or during the week if needed. As a speedway journalist for the Bay Of Plenty times, Colin has been an integral part of the Baypark family for many years, spanning both versions of the track. His friendly demeanor makes him one of the nicest individuals you will meet, and we firmly believe he is highly deserving of this award.
🌟Donna Allen
Donna is an invaluable asset in her role as a class representative for Baypark Speedway, demonstrating exceptional organisation skills. Her tireless efforts across the Superstock and stockcar classes are unparalleled, and we are fortunate to have her on our team. Now in semi-retirement, Donna has graciously offered to return and save the day once more as the representative for the Superstock class, for which we are truly grateful. She is indeed another deserving winner.
🏁Although we can only present two awards, the true winners are the promotion team, as we firmly believe that our amazing volunteers in every department make our show a success, and they are all exceptional at what they do and without their contributions, we would be unable to do what we do, so we extend our sincerest gratitude to the entire Baypark family.
Let us look forward to the 25/26 season at the place for pace!!
