Council Annual Dinner 2023

The council and local guests gathered together on Friday for the Annual Dinner.  Held at the Welfare Hall the outgoing Mayor, Councillor Jeff Bowen and his Consort Mrs Mary Bowen, were thanked for their work during the year.  They have made many visits and attended a wide range of local events giving generously of their time from visits to our residents who reach 90 years and over, school and church concerts and the many charity and voluntary organisations supported by the council.  The Globe Inn provided the excellent catering and the highlight of the evening was the entertainment which was provided by Mal Pope and Chris Hughes.  The council would like to thank everyone who contributed and especially Mal and Chris who generously gave freely of their time.
