Mayor of Shildon Charity Evening at Shildon Civic Hall
Marjorie and I were welcomed by the Mayor of Shildon, Gareth Howe, and his
wife in the reception room with quite a few of the Chain Gang (Mayors) from
the surrounding area. We have been to so many events with the Chain Gang
that we are all friends and enjoy each other's company.
We all took our seats in the main hall where there was the usual raffle and
tombola stalls and we did win a prize on the tombola. The meal was up to it
usual standard which we enjoyed as it had been a long time since our lunch.
The entertainment was by the "Motown Miracles" and the songs were from our
era so we could relate to them. Everyone was invited to dance during their
performance to work off the meal.
The evening raised over £1,000 for the Mayor of Shildon's charities and we
were all happy to have contributed to it. It was soon time to say our
goodbyes and leave for home.
