The Wincanton fundraising group of Cancer Research UK has folded after more than 50 years.
However, after the recent resignation of chairman Peter Mitchell and pressing family commitments for secretary Pat Cullen, volunteers have now hung up their collecting tins.
Due to dwindling numbers, a decision was made to disband the group at a recent annual general meeting.
