Kevin, the Mayor's Attendant, had no trouble finding the Conservative Club
in Seaham as he lives in the town. When Marjorie and I arrived at the club
we followed some of the Chain Gang (Mayors) into the club where more were
already seated at the tables. We met Cllr. Brian Allen, the Mayor of Seaham
Town Council and his Mayoress Mrs Sarah McLoughlan. When all the civic
dignitaries were assembled I did a quick count and there were about 15
mayors in attendance. Being a charity night there were the usual
raffle, tombola and blind cards for sale. Marjorie didn't have any luck on
the tombola, but she won a prize on the blind card and I won two prizes in
the raffle.
The entertainment was by the "Extraordinary Ladies" group who sang a
variety of songs during their two spots during the evening. Marjorie had
been through Seaham twice on Tuesday as she had been at a meeting in
Newcastle and travelled by train.
We had a pleasant drive home after another enjoyable evening.
