Transcript

00:00Today is Celebrating Meals on Wheels Day and every Meals on Wheels Day was actually yesterday.

00:11We've chosen Thursday to do the celebration with our volunteers and we've got 80 volunteers

00:18in the hall today celebrating with each other for the work that they do for our community.

00:47So at least they count for 55 years.

00:57When mum was, we'd just moved into town and my father had come to town and she co-ordinated

01:13St Edwards Church at the time and so I've been doing it on and off since 1969.

01:21Brilliant, yeah.

01:22I don't remember what year I started.

01:25I started when they were at the Rugby Union Hall and I knew the lady who ran the Meals

01:34on Wheels there and through the church and she got me interested in coming to, I didn't

01:42do the run all the time.

01:45I did the cleaning up when we took the meals to the people in a very different way to what

01:52we deliver now.

01:54Very different.

01:55We ladled soup out of a big soup bowl.

01:59Peter, to say to you for the work that you've done and for all of those years, the commitment

02:05you've given and the outcomes you've given and gotten, congratulations on behalf of the

02:10community.

02:11I can't say thank you enough.
