Trevor’s endeavour COUNTRY Press SA stalwart and former president, Trevor McAuliffe, was awarded Life Membership at the Country Press SA Port Lincoln conference on March 15. His significant contribution to the industry was recognised at the SA Power Networks Country Newspapers Awards Dinner at the Port Lincoln Hotel. “Anyone who has had any involvement with Country Press SA over the past two decades would be aware of the significant role played by Trevor McAuliffe,” said incoming Country Press SA president, David Wright. Trevor was born in Port Augusta and started his newspaper career with the Willson family in Whyalla 25 years ago on April 5, 1988. He continued with Rural Press Limited when they purchased the Willson family’s newspaper interests and today works for Fairfax Media Limited. Trevor has served on the Country Press SA executive committee for 18 years and has been a great contributor during each of those years. He served a double term as president of Country Press SA
from 2003 – 2007 and has been a great support to his wife Marilyn in her role as administration officer of the association for the past seven years. “He’s been a mentor and friend to many of us,” said outgoing president, Trevor Channon. Both Trevor Channon and David Wright are work colleagues of Trevor McAuliffe at Fairfax Media. Before a large crowd of member newspaper proprietors, staff and industry supporters, Trevor Channon presented Trevor McAuliffe with a gold watch, acknowledging his contribution. “He has been a worthy ambassador for our association when meeting with politicians, public servants, clients and agencies,” Trevor Channon said. “Above all we’ve enjoyed his sense of humour, his love of his family including his six children and his passion for football.”
