Each year an award is made to someone who has voluntarily made a significant contribution to our community. This year it has been awarded to Joyce and Paul Sayles who have been stalwart members of the Crich Fête Committee for a great many years. Paul, a local farmer, is the longest serving Crich fireman with thirty-two years of service. Joyce is a member of the Crich Preschool team. Both are very supportive of charity work in the community and the award is a small token of our appreciation.

The presentation took place on Sunday 27 September 2015 at the Cliff Inn when CACN chairman David Billyeald, accompanied by CACN photographer Roger Phipp, gate-crashed a committee meeting of the Crich Fête Committee to surprise the pair of them with the award.
