Citizen of the Year
We wandered down to Pioneer Park on Australia Day for the annual Lions Club breakfast and enjoyed a lovely morning. Tip for next year though -- make sure you get down before 7.29am. We managed to breeze right through but by 7.30am there was a massive line.

After breakfast, and just before the ceremony the winner other inaugural Colin Duggan Citizen of the Year award was announced.

For those of you who missed out on the privilege of meeting Colin Duggan before he sadly and unexpectedly passed away last year. Colin's commitment and service to the community was inspiring, raises the challenge for everyone to contribute something back to their community.

Ten people were nominated for the award but the congratulations went to Peter Clews. Nominated by three different clubs and one individual for the work he does around the town and for the many groups he is associated with.

Thanks to Peter and to everyone else around the community who contributes their time and energy into things ticking along - much appreciated!
