Yesterday marked an achievement that 266 Cootamundra has not seen since 1971 when Captain Fred Holder achieved the same milestone.
Current Captain Les Carr has achieved the milestone of 45 years service, joining as a young 22 year old in 1981, it safe to say Les has served his community every single day in those 45 years!
Nothing short of inspirational!
Congratulations!!!
