A huge thank you to Siobhan Thompson, outgoing General Manager of Athletics Bendigo. Siobhan will conclude on Friday 24th October, 2025.
(Siobhan is pictured above centre at the Country Championships with yet another trophy for Eaglehawk AC!)
We wish to acknowledge the amazing work of the outgoing General Manager, Siobhan Thompson. Siobhan has been a super operator in managing the organisation over the past three and a quarter years. Siobhan has managed to stay across the myriad of venue users, including school carnivals, Little Athletics competitions, Athletics Bendigo competitions, special events and Presentations.
There have been many ‘silent’ projects undertaken of the past three years, too, including track re-certification and repairs, implement upgrades and replacements and photo finish upgrades, too.
During her tenure, the venue was renamed to ‘Lar Birpa’ and looks better than ever from the roadside, whilst on the inside, officials, volunteers and athletes have been able to get on with performing at their very best.
Siobhan has decided the time is now right for her to move on from her General Manager role and move interstate to the Central Coast of NSW and we wish her all the best.
On behalf of all athletes in the Bendigo region, we say ‘Thank you, Siobhan!’
~ Nigel Preston, President, Athletics Bendigo
Athletics Bendigo is recruiting for a new Venue Manager role, which will be slightly different to the General Manager duties Siobhan was performing in the past.
