Presentation to butcher

Umina Fire Brigade made a special presentation to the manager of a butcher's shop in Deepwater Plaza last week.

Umina fire station officer Mr Garry Yates said Peter's Meats had provided "ongoing generous support" over the years and the plaque was presented in recognition of the "outstanding support".

"In particular, over the two week period during the recent storm emergency on the Peninsula, Peter's Meats supplied enough meat to provide meals for all visiting brigades, including volunteer bush fire brigades, working from the station," Mr Yates said.

Accepting on behalf of Peters Meats was manager Mr Kevin Crawley.

"We do it because the fire brigades do such a great job without receiving much thanks," Mr Crawley said.

"We'd like to show them that they're appreciated."

Also present was Inspector Ron Sinclair who said "Peter's Meats have provided complimentary meats for our Triple O Day and every open day.

"They've been extremely generous over the years."

Umina Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade Captain Mr Vince Wiegold said: "We wanted to show our appreciation of the support received from Peter's Meats by presenting them with this special plaque".
