As the newly elected mayor I would like to thank everyone who has shared this civic event and made it a wonderful day for myself and all those present. It was great to see so many children for the hot pennies and I hope they enjoyed the extra chocolate ones!
Thank you to Ryebellion drummers, and to Paul White and Fiona Gill for their ministry at the civic service in St Mary’s. A big thank you to the our town clerk and deputy for making all the arrangements.
Finally, to the Waterworks and Cinque Ports for putting on hospitality for all those in the procession, visiting guests, drummers and town crier.
Editorial note
We are planning to have a monthly column from Andi, keeping us up do date with council and mayoral matters.
