Abergavenny Round Table has been awarded the certificate of merit from the Gwent Association of Voluntary Organisations.

The Round Table provides men up to the age of 45 the opportunity to make new friends, partake in social activities other than go to the pub, (although going to the pub does feature) and importantly help give back a little to the community.

'We are very pleased to be recognised for what we do,' said Ian Bowman, Round Table chairman.

'We like to think of ourselves as more of a social club, a group of people who get together for fun, raises cash for local causes and helps others.

The Round Table is also responsible for organising the firework display on the Saturday, November 5.

'We don't know who nominated us', continues Ian Bowman, ' but whoever thinks we are doing ok."
