Celebrating Ray Wyatt’s Legacy at Mizzymead 🎉

Nailsea Town Council was delighted to honour Ray Wyatt for his many years of voluntary service and dedication to Mizzymead Recreation Centre.

Ray’s father, Harry Wyatt, donated the land for the centre in the 1960s, and Ray has played a huge part in its development ever since.

Cllr Graham Parsons, Chair of Nailsea Town Council, and Mike Birch, Chair of the Mizzymead Trustees, unveiled two plaques – one celebrating the centre’s history and another recognising Ray’s lifetime of service. 👏

Cllr Parsons said:
“Ray’s dedication has helped make Mizzymead the vibrant community hub it is today. It is a pleasure to recognise a local legend who has given so much to our community.”

Mizzymead continues to be a fantastic community facility, offering a wide range of activities and facilities for everyone to enjoy.
