scottishathletics are pleased to confirm additions to our list of Honorary Life Members following on from the 4J Annual Awards.

The status is conferred, usually each year via the Annual General Meeting, on those individuals who have made a contribution to the sport in Scotland ‘above and beyond’ and in all manner of roles.

There is a full list of the HLMs on our website (see link above).

In 2021, three nominations were approved by our (online) AGM back in September and then the formal presentations were made at the 4J Awards Dinner in Glasgow.

We send our warm to the three individuals and their families of achieving Honorary Life Membership.
