Bob White and husband-and-wife duo Roger and Dol Pollard were awarded life memberships for their service over many years.
Club president Val Maher said all three are enthusiastic and active members of the club, often contributing beyond their set roles.
Mrs Maher said each also contributes to the social fabric of the group.
“Bob is rally director and was the previous printer and editor of our club magazine.
“The only reason he gave up the magazine is that he downsized his home, and found he didn’t really have the space any more.
“Bob is really friendly will all the members, and has got the most incredible laugh.”

It was Mr Pollard who took over as printer and editor of the magazine, and Mrs Maher said it’s one of several roles he manages for the group.
“He’s our registration officer, our vehicle inspector and our property officer as well,” she said.
“Dol has been publicity officer, in charge of catering and is the current secretary, but also does a lot of the behind the scenes work too.
“Both of them just work, work, work - they’re just amazing.
“They often go above and beyond what they need to.”
Mrs Maher said all three recipients are “ever reliable” and great members.
She said they’re also still very active in the group and its events, despite all three being over the age of 80.
“The recognition is very well deserved for all three of them,” she said.
The DDV&VCC currently has 75 members, and Mrs Maher said you don’t have to own a car to be involved.
Bob White was recognised for his efforts within the club over many years and roles.
“It’s a good social club,” she said.
“We have monthly car runs, coffee catch ups and trips out of town.
“Our annual trip is coming up in April, where we’ll spend four days in Tumut.
“Later that month there will be an Armstrong Siddeley Car Club rally in Deniliquin, which we’ll also be involved in.
“We’ll also host the Antique Car Club Albury Wodonga in Deniliquin this year, and we of course have our annual show and shine in November at the Deniliquin Racecourse.”
