Callington’s Fire Brigade were named Group of the Year during the town’s civic awards ceremony.

Resident Barry Higgins was named Citizen of the Year for his long-standing contributions to the town, most recently with the Age Concern Group.

Meanwhile, Mikkie Raphael was presented with a Highly Commended Citizen of The Year award for his work carrying out voluntary litter picks in Callington.

The town’s first ever Honorary Burgess title was bestowed on former portreeve Jeremy Gist (pictured), who has served for 39 years on Callington Town Council.

We’ll have coverage of this in Friday’s new print edition of the Cornish Times.
