Volunteers form the core of the community and the Petone Community Board has done a good job in selecting 35 individuals from local sports and community groups to be acknowledged as volunteers of the year.
Among them is the outstanding contribution of Bernie Fraser of the Randwick Archery Club together with Vic Mawson and Des Tarring of the Koizumo Kwai Judo Club.
Each person has given more than 50 years to their respective organisations. Bernie Fraser, 74, is Patron of the New Zealand Archery Association and continues to take an active role in coaching. Des is 87 years old and president of his club and Vic, 92, is a founding member.
They are truly inspirational. Petone Community Board member Tui Lewis coordinated the awards and has done a good job.
