Bankstown committeemen announce retirement

Longstanding harness racing committeemen Megan Lavender and Andrew Ho will retire from the Bankstown Paceway board tonight (Wednesday, December 4th, 2019) after more than a decade of service at Sydney's Condell Park trotting track, the pair has revealed to Harnesslink.

The joint winners of the 2013 Harness Racing NSW Volunteer of the Year Award had been credited for their efforts in community engagement and the promotion of the standardbred horse racing throughout the competitive Australasian sporting market.

"We are justifiably proud to leave the Bankstown Paceway board in a greater position of strength and with more opportunities for growth than when I was first elected to the committee more than twelve years ago – but, this was a joint effort which would not have been possible without the support of our fellow committeemen, members and the community over the years," Ms Lavender told Harnesslink.

"It has been both a tremendous opportunity and a humbling experience to serve the harness racing community and Bankstown Paceway members for the past decade – but, like Cincinnatus, now is the time to return to the plough," Mr Ho added.
