Pride of Workmanship Award presented to Moyne Gazette reporter

Speaking about the award, Rotarian John Ellard, said that the Pride of Workmanship Award is handed out from time-to-time in recognition of a person or groups contribution to the community or to a business activity. 

In presenting the award, John said it was a popular vote among to members of the Club to recognise the excellent work that Anthony Brady does for the community and the professionalism he brings to the Moyne Gazette.  Above all, it was Anthony’s untiring support of local service groups, like the Rotary and Lions clubs as well as other community organisations in the region, which was acknowledged.  In this regard John thanked him for his commitment to these important groups.

John highlighted Anthony Brady’s transition from working in both Nestles and Murray Goulburn dairying industries, where he started the Koroit Times, to becoming a reporter with the Moyne Gazette.

In accepting the award Anthony said that his only early association with Port Fairy was to travel from his home town of Koroit to witness their annual footy clash with Port Fairy at the Gardens Oval (one they invariably won!) but now, having worked for over four years out of the Port Fairy office of the Gazette, he had come to appreciate just how unique the community spirit is in Port Fairy and what makes it such a good town.  Anthony also recognised that the success of the Moyne Gazette was a team effort and particular praised his office companion, Martina Murrihy.
