COMMUNITY stalwart Beryl Card has been recognised for her work at the Bulford Centre in Wellington for pensioners.

Beryl, who works with a small group of others to provide weekly meals and entertainment, received an award from Somerset County Council chairman Cllr Christine Lawrence, for services to the community.

Varied and interesting trips are organised throughout the year for pensioners to places of interest, including the seaside.

Cllr Andrew Govier said: “It was a real pleasure to attend the lunch and to give this well deserved award to Beryl.

The club is a fantastic facility and provides a really warm and supportive venue. I would like to thank Beryl and her colleagues for all the time and effort they put in to make this such a success.”
