Local greyhound racing steward Lindy Thomson was caught unawares at Tara Raceway’s meeting last Sunday when Mount Gambier Greyhound Racing Club (MGGRC) president Noel Perry presented her with a Greyhound Racing SA Service Award certificate.

The certificate was in recognition of 10 years dedicated service to Greyhound Racing SA and was signed by GRSA Chief Executive Officer Brenton Scott.

“It seems a lifetime ago that I first became involved with the club. Prior to taking on a stewarding role I must have done almost every job there was around the place with the exception of working in the bar,” said Thomson, daughter of MGGRC life member Ralph Patzel.

Thomson also extended her special thanks to her race day co-workers Barry Shepheard, Stan Bright, Connor Bartlett and Craig Childs.

Congratulations Lindy on an award well deserved.
