Narrandera Race Club President and long-time volunteer Graeme Mathieson has been honoured with life membership of the club at the weekend.

A veteran of more than 30 years on the NRC committee, Graeme has served multiple stints as president and vice-president.

Since the function centre was commissioned in 1999, Graeme has been the licensee and invested in the NRC’s future.

During his tenure, Graeme has been a tireless worker at all levels of the club, a genuinely great bloke, and has demonstrated outstanding leadership combined with astute business acumen, leading the NRC to its current position as one of the leading country race clubs in the Southern Districts.

Graeme has also been a contributor through his successful horse breeding and racing, where he has achieved considerable success at both local and metropolitan levels.

His ‘Riverbend’ property at Narrandera has produced many a good winner and horses and is another testament to his hard work and love of racing.

The NRC is proud to have Graeme join its Life Membership ranks – a position held for those who have gone above and beyond for the interest of racing in and around Narrandera.
