The Bernard Paul Cup, which is presented annually to mark outstanding contribution to village life in Catcott, was awarded to Bridget and Stuart Frier for 2016.
Bridget, who is churchwarden at St Peter’s, accepted the cup at the annual Presentation Evening organised by the Catcott Village Association. The recipients are unaware of the award before it is announced on the night and Stuart was unable to attend.

CVA chairman Matt Tyler said the Bernard Paul Cup was presented “to mark service to the village” and recognised “hard work and commitment that make the village such a great place to live.”
