The inaugural William ‘John’ Gilbert Memorial Shield was awarded by the Dubbo Kart Club on the weekend.
Uniquely, the recipient is not decided by the club executive or any special committees, but by the karting community in attendance at the Gold Cup meeting – the drivers, teams, families and volunteers who run the event.
The club proudly announced Cheree Everingham as the first recipient, which was presented by the Gilbert Family.
“The Dubbo Kart Club is deeply humbled and eternally grateful to unveil the inaugural William ‘John’ Gilbert Memorial Shield” the club advised KartSportNews.

“(It’s), a poignant tribute to an extraordinary individual who selflessly devoted their time and energy to the Dubbo Kart Club as a dedicated Volunteer and Member.
“The award is a powerful acknowledgement of those who go above and beyond to help run and officiate at the annual Maxxis Gold Cup. This is voted by you the Karters, Teams, Mechanics and other members of the karting community who have witnessed the remarkable dedication of their efforts across the race weekend.
“As a club we are so grateful for Erica, Ali, Grace and the entire Gilbert Family for allowing us, The Dubbo Kart Club, to celebrate and honour their beloved John.”
