New Cathedral Card scheme for visitors

WELLS Cathedral has launched a new ‘Cathedral Card’ which became available to all its visitors from January 25.

By making a modest one-off annual purchase and becoming a Cathedral Card holder, visitors can make the most of what is on offer throughout the year while helping to secure the Cathedral’s future.

Card holders will get a ten per cent discount on purchases in the Cathedral Shop and The Loft Cafe, priority booking for selected events, seasonal offers and promotions, and a free place on any pre-booked tour.

Alexia James, Commercial Operations Director at Wells Cathedral, said: “Wells Cathedral is a pillar of our community. Making any kind of contribution helps to secure its future and the vital work that it does. The

Cathedral Card is a great way for frequent and local visitors to show their support for this much-loved icon of our city, while making the most of what’s on offer here the year round.”

The Cathedral Card is available in three tiers: Adult (£20), Joint (£35), and Family (£40).

As a way of supporting the local community, there are reduced rates for residents of the BA5 postal area: Adult (£15), Joint (£25), and Family (£30).

The Cathedral Card is valid for one year from the date of purchase, with the option to renew annually.

Using this technique meant that the skin and muscles immediately over the actual break could be left alone, and the steel implant could be simply bridged across it. That meant the blood supply and the healing response that had already been established around the fracture were not disturbed, which would improve the body’s ability to repair the fractured bone beneath it.

The rest of Zuko’s care was largely down to his owners, who had the difficult job of keeping him from doing too much. They did a fabulous job, and over the next four weeks they struck the delicate balance of keeping him confined and yet also mentally occupied. Week by week he grew stronger on the leg, and at the end of the month his X-rays were repeated and showed that his injury had fully healed and he could get back to being a normal bouncy puppy again.

Choirs from Coxley Primary School and St Cuthberts Junior joined the Christmas celebrations at Crandon Springs Care Home in Wells in December. Wells City Band also took part in a carol singalong, and Vixens from Bridgwater entertained at a Christmas party for residents, families, friends and staff.

She topped the poll in the election that took place on January 12.
