Villagers honoured by Mayor of Winchester
Two Hursley residents were chosen this year to receive the Mayor of
Winchester's Award for Volunteers, an award was created by Mayor Chris Pines
in 2007. Cicely Bull was nominated in the category Caring and Befriending,
whilst Ian 'H' Wells was nominated in the Innovation category. Cice,
together with husband Pete, and 'H' together with his wife Hilary, attended
a special ceremony in the Guildhall to receive their certificates from the
current Mayor of Winchester Dominic Hiscock.
Cicely's citation read:
"Cicely is the sort of person that every community depends on - caring,
befriending, always looking out for others. She has given selflessly of her
time and friendship, as well as her organisational and catering skills for
village events and the monthly Lunch Club. Cice has been nominated for this Mayor of Winchester's Award 2010 for her
exceptional service, over a span of fifty years or more, to members of the
elderly community of Hursley."
Ian's citation read:
"In Hursley village terms, Ian is a relative newcomer, but within a few
short years, he has made a tremendous impact on local communications,
bringing the 'parish pump' into the 21st century.
Ian, known as 'H', has been nominated for this Mayor of Winchester's Award
2010 in the category 'Innovation' for creating and managing the 'Hursley
Village Info' website and e-newsletter, 'By the village & for the village -
keeping you informed'.
Our warm congratulations go to both these worthy recipients.

Winchester City Councillor for Compton & Otterbourne
