The Mayor detailed the events she had attended since the last Council meeting. These included attendance at the nominees’ reception of The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. She emphasised the invaluable work of volunteers in the community, including the volunteers of the Basingstoke Canal whom were nominated for an award. She also noted the excellent hospitality and food when she visited the Open Day at Camberley Mosque.
Civic events which she also attended included a meeting of the Surrey Heath Employees Retirement Club, the World Professional Dart Championships at Lakeside and various wine tasting events. She also enjoyed numerous seasonal occasions such as Christmas lunches, the Windlesham Pram Race and carol singing at Waitrose and Frimley Park Hospital which she found a particularly humbling experience.
The Mayor announced that her Mayor’s Ball would be held on 18 April this year in the Camberley Theatre. The Mayor encouraged Members to attend this charitable event.
