There's a big piece in the Brecon and Radnor Express this week about the PAVO Volunteer of the Year Awards.
I was very pleased to see that there is now an award in honour of Rev. Ian Charlesworth, who died suddenly last year and who was, among his many interests, chair of PAVO. This is the Ian Charlesworth Calon Award, which was won by the Rhayader Carnival Committee, aka The Misfits, which over the pandemic has been organising virtual carnival events which could be carried out at home. The award was presented, over Zoom, by Rev. Charlesworth's widow Catriona.
Another winner I was pleased to see was Grow For Talgarth, winning the Environment Award this year for their gardens around Talgarth. I very much enjoyed sitting out in one of their gardens on the day I had to go to the doctor's surgery in Talgarth. They have also won a Gold Award from Wales in Bloom, and the All Wales Award in the Large Village category.
