Royal honour for industry stalwart
Marine industry stalwart Andrew Varga has received formal recognition for his valuable contribution to the Victorian boating community with his inclusion in the Queen's Birthday Honours List for 2007Varga was awarded the Emergency Service Medal, announced by the Governor-General in June.
The award is a well-deserved tribute to Varga's outstanding service as a member of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association (AVCGA). Special mention was made of his work in search and rescue activities and training.
Despite having served the AVCGA with the St Kilda flotilla since 1982, co-ordinating countless serious and sometimes life threatening rescues, Varga modestly claimed the award "came as a bit of a surprise".
