Mayor and Deputy Mayor join array of summer events
August was a busy month for the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Eastbourne, who took part in a wide range of events across the town supporting local charities, commemorating historical events and engaging with community groups.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Hugh Parker, was also active in the community. He attended the Friends of Seaside Recreation Fun Day and the Seven Sisters Camera Club Exhibition at Meads Hall. The Deputy Mayor also represented Eastbourne at the 83rd Anniversary of the Dieppe Raid in Newhaven.
The Mayor said: "It has been a privilege to support many wonderful community events throughout August and see the incredible spirit of Eastbourne on full display."
Looking ahead, the Mayor is hosting two popular events in October. The first is the annual Civic Harvest Festival on Sunday, October 5, at Emmanuel Church. The service starts at 10.30am and guests are invited to a 'bring and share' lunch afterwards.
The Mayor's Charity Quiz Night will be held on Friday, October 10, at the Town Hall, starting at 7pm, with participants asked to arrive at 6.30pm. The event, which includes a Ploughman's Supper, costs £12 per person, or £10 without food. There is a maximum of six people per team.
There will also be a bar and raffle. To book tickets, please contact the Mayor's Office by Monday, September 22, on 01323 415020 or by email at [email protected]
Proceeds will go towards the Mayor's charities - Forward Facing which supports families in Sussex with children facing life-limiting conditions, disabilities, or bereavement, and Eastbourne Street Pastors, a team of more than 50 volunteers who provide help to people on the streets of Eastbourne on Friday and Saturday nights.
