Vollugi-Taylor Investment Fund

The Vollugi / Taylor Investment Fund was set up in 1996 in our Fifty Year celebrations.

It honours our two great school drivers.

Bob (Trunk) Vollugi along with the then Headmaster Colin Gordon formed the St Peters Collegians Athletics Club in Oct 1946.

Bob was arguably the greatest school master coach ever, coaching 14 Intercollegiate Football victories and at least 10 Cricket Intercolls. He then emerged himself in athletics coaching, being recognised by Athletics Australia for his efforts. Bob played a significant role in developing at least 6 of our Internationals.

Chris CIT Taylor followed on from Bob, serving the school athletics and Saints Athletics Club for another 35 years as a competitor, coach and excellent administrator. The Schools incredible 44 out of 45 Achilles Cups bears testimony to Chris's commitment to our wonderful sport.

This fund now has $65,000 invested and managed by Tony Keynes, George Bolton and Hans van Bavel and provides gifts to our elite athletes to help them attend National and International athletics competitions.

For athletes to be considered for a gift, not only is their athletic potential important, but also the way they serve our club.

For an athlete to be considered for a gift they must apply to our Secretary Hans van Bavel.

Officiating and Volunteering

As part of our involvement in athletic competetions we are often asked to assist in the running of the competition. The club would appreciate any help from athletes or supporters in fulfilling this requirement.
