The 2010 Civic

John and Sheila Pomeroy receive the 2010 Civic Award from Warminster Mayor, Cllr Sue Fraser at the Civic Reception held in the Assembly Rooms reception on Friday.

Award was presented to long standing Warminster residents John and Sheila

Pomeroy at the Civic Reception held in the

Assembly Rooms on Friday.

The Pomeroys have lived in Warminster for over 35 years and are involved in a wide range of

community activities. John, who is

currently Treasurer of Warminster Relief in Need, the Link scheme and the

Chapel of St Lawrence, is perhaps

best known for his role as Chairman of Commercial Transport in Preservation. It is in this role that he organises events which benefit the community and local charities.

Sheila is

a Lay Pastoral Assistant, member of the Mother’s Union at the Minster

Church and a Rainbow Leader with the Guide Association. She has recently received a long service

certificate for 20 years as a volunteer at Warminster Hospital. Besides being a trustee and active member of the Warminster and District Food bank, Sheila is involved with the Link scheme, and has recently taken on

the role as Sacristan at the Chapel of St Lawrence.

Presenting the

award, Warminster Mayor, Councillor Sue Fraser said: “The

range of activities that John and Sheila are involved in is demonstrated by how

well known they are within the community for their selflessness and positive

attitude. They work tirelessly for the

benefit of Warminster and the wider community and I am delighted to present

this award to them both.”

The Civic Award is

presented annually to a person who has made a

material contribution to the welfare of the people of Warminster.
