     In his time John has filled the positions of Committee Member, Vice President, President and Treasurer. When the National Executive was based in South Australia, he was a National Committee Member and filled the position of National Treasurer twice.
     He also filled the role of archivist for the South Australian Branch, co-authored  the history of the South Australian Branch  for the book 'The Children's Book Council in Australia 1945-1980', and for a number of years ordered and posted out Book Week merchandise to schools, individuals and libraries. 
     John was one of those committee members who quietly supported the work, role and success of the CBCA in South Australia.
His daughter and granddaughter accepted the award on his behalf.
