Alnwick baker presented with award for his work supporting the local community
An Alnwick baker has been presented with the highest honour that can be bestowed by any Lions Club, the Melvyn Jones Fellowship.
Colyn Pendleton of The Farm Bakery was described as a ‘local hero’ by the president of Alnwick Lions Club, Linden Dodds, who presented the award on behalf of Lions Club International.
Linden thanked Colyn for everything he did that helped the residents of Alnwick in a variety of ways such as providing the pies at the Club’s monthly charity quiz, supplying gifts for disadvantaged youngsters at a Christmas event and also being the club’s main sponsor.
Colyn displayed his usual modesty when accepting the award, saying ‘If I can help out, I will.”
Lions District Governor John Sellers congratulated Colyn and thanked him for his community spirit.
