Just to report that at the QUDA Bash last Friday, we were proud to announce that Adilia Murabito would be the recipient of the Bruce McNaughton Award.
The Bruce recognises outstanding volunteer contributions to the organisation of flying disc sports in Queensland, and Adilia's effort has certainly been large and long.
The Executive was pleased to receive four nominations this year, demonstrating our membership's appreciation of the work people do for us all, as well as the prestige of 'winning the Bruce'.
Adilia's nomination is below. Congratulations Adilia, and thanks again to you and all the volunteers in Queensland for their work.

We the undersigned would like to nominate Adilia Murabito to receive the Bruce McNaughton Award at the QUDA Bash this Friday.
We consider Adilia an outstanding candidate for the Bruce, and recognition of her vast and lengthy volunteer service to Ultimate is just about due to be recognised.
Adilia has been playing Ultimate in Brisbane for many years, and has volunteered to help organise Ultimate for just as long. There is a rare tournament or league that Adilia has not directly helped with somewhere in the piece, often taking on the more onerous roles like fields or food!
Adilia is an ideal organiser in that she clearly respects anyone else willing to get involved in Ultimate volunteering and works well with them. Whenever she sees a problem she takes the initiative to resolve it - either directly on her own or by alerting the group to the need. Adilia has quietly and smoothly managed the finances for BUDA and many seasons of BUML, and particularly taken the lead on field management (particularly with Yeronga AFL). She has always been of great support to anyone who steps into the shoes of organising a League in Brisbane.
A key interest for Adilia is to bring new players into the game at every opportunity. Adilia has been instrumental in organising many 'Learn to Play' activities over many years, and is always one of the first to offer to help whenever someone else organises such an event.
Adilia is a volunteer in the true spirit of the term - her commitment to getting more people playing Ultimate and growing the number of Ultimate activities is never about increasing her own playing opportunities (she's waaay too busy for more Ultimate, sadly!) - it is always about a genuine affection for the sport and a belief that everyone's life would be better if they played it.
On the field, Adilia is a great teacher and model of Spirit of the Game. She is generous, courteous and cheerful to all. Her laugh adds much to any gathering of the Ultimate tribe.
We think Adilia would be an excellent winner of the Bruce McNaughton Award.
