It is with great sadness that we were advised that Noel Rasti (former Knox Little Athletics President from 1988 to 2009) had passed away on Monday the 8th of July 2024.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

Noel Rasti was a long standing member of Knox Little Athletics having served our centre for 21 years. Noel held many positions during his time at the centre including Knox President (21 years), VLAA delegate (19 years), EMR delegate (21 years – including 13 years served as EMR president), BOM delegate (14 years), handbook committee (16 years) and Centre Referee (15 years). Noel also regularly assisted in set up and pack up, arena and equipment manager, chief of officials, competition committee rep, program manager, announcer, championship day and open day co-ordinator, senior club liaison, mini Olympics co-ordinator, heath and safety officer, computer operations and organising end of season trophies.

Noels dedication and commitment to Knox Little Athletics saw Noel awarded with Life Membership of Knox Little Athletics In 1991. In 2002, Noel was awarded Little Athletics Victoria Life Governor.

Our centre and Little Athletics owes much to Noel. He was a person who helped out at any opportunity and led by example.

Our thoughts and prayers go to his family, relatives and friends.
