THE Honary Membership of the RCAA was awarded to Phil Callaway from St Tudy at this year’s Royal Cornwall Show, following 40 years of service to agriculture.

Each year at the show, long service awards are made to individuals who have completed a minimum of 40 years in agricultural employment, either with one employer or on one farm.

Born in St Teath, Mr Callaway has completed 40 years of continuous service to agriculture, working for the Button family of St Tudy since 1975.

The award was presented to Mr Callaway during the grand parade of livestock on Friday.

Mr Callaway said: “I’m delighted and very proud, and it has shown recognition of the time I have spent in the industry.

“The show was very good, and we had good weather. I really enjoyed myself. I’m really pleased.”
