David Drewery’s exceptional dedication to the Warwick Redbacks Australian Football Club over the past 16 years was recognised at the club’s Presentation night when he was awarded life membership.
Drewery’s journey with the Redbacks began in 2008 when his son joined the under 10s team.
In the years since his impact on the club has been immeasurable.
He took on the crucial role of club Treasurer from 2010 to 2014, ensuring the future financial stability of the club.
He also received the President’s Award in 2014 and was recognized as the most committed player in Division Two that year.
In addition to his contributions on the financial front, in 2016 Dave was one of the pivotal figures in the formation of the Warwick Redbacks cricket team.
His commitment to both Aussie Rules and Cricket is reflected in a series of well-deserved accolades.
These include the 2016 AFLQ Darling Downs Club Volunteer of the Year and Redbacks Volunteer of the Year in the same year.
Dave’s dedication extends from the AFL paddock to the cricket pitch.
He is among a few Redbacks who have achieved the impressive milestone of playing 50 cricket games for the club.
Dave Drewery is currently the club’s vice president. His presence and commitment to maintaining the club’s facilities and ensuring the overall progress of the Club make him an invaluable asset to the Redbacks community.
The commitment and passion Drewery has for the Warwick Redbacks has left an indelible mark on the Warwick Redbacks players, volunteers, supporters and the organisation and they look forward to many more years of his contributions to the club.
A clubman through and through he is most worthy of Life Membership.
