The town’s Annual Civic Service, at which awards to recognise volunteers in Midsomer Norton are presented, will take place at 6 p.m. on Sunday, 19th June at St John’s Church, Midsomer Norton.

Originally launched in 2007 by the Midsomer Norton Society, these awards have developed into an important part of the town’s civic calendar. The Town Council took on the awards when they were formed in 2011 as a way of recognising the contribution of local residents who volunteer their time.

“Over the years, many people have been honoured for everything from specific projects to a complete lifetime of achievement. What is clear is that in Midsomer Norton at least, year on year there is no shortage of dedicated individuals and groups to honour,” said Paul Myers, Mayor of Midsomer Norton.

Anyone wishing to nominate an individual or group for an award can do so by contacting the Town Council by email: [email protected] or call: 01761 418701. There are a number of awards for individuals or groups who have made a significant contribution to the community, and the Town Council welcomes suggestions.

Nominations will be considered at the Town Council’s meeting in June, and the whole community is warmly invited to attend the Civic Service to find out who wins.
