PRESS RELEASE



Welcome new Ceremonial Mayor to the role at dinner

THE new Mayor of Hartlepool is inviting people to attend a welcome dinner as he settles into his new role.

Councillor Paul Beck and Mayoress Mrs Mary Beck are hosting a welcome dinner on Wednesday 28 June which is being held at The Rift House Community Building, Masefield Road.

Guests will be able to enjoy a glass of prosecco upon arrival and a 3 course meal, as well as the chance to win prizes at a tombola and raffle, with money raised from the event going to the Mayor's two chosen charities - Macmillan Cancer Support and The Rifty Youth Project.

The dinner will begin at 7pm with tickets priced at £25, with a Pay Bar available.

Hartlepool Mayor Councillor Paul Beck said: "The Mayoress and I are delighted to invite everyone to our welcome dinner this month.

"This will be a great opportunity to meet face-to-face with people and talk about our exciting plans for representing the town. It will be one of the first of many events planned as we work to raise money for my two chosen charities over the course of the municipal year.

"People's support will be greatly appreciated, as all funds raised from the dinner will be donated towards aiding the invaluable work of Macmillan Cancer Support, as well as local community group The Rifty Youth Project, which provides a safe space for young people to socialise and learn new skills.

"Everyone is encouraged to attend the dinner whether people are on their own, in a small group or larger party."

Careful everyone before buying your ticket......... I strongly suspect that he has never legally been the Ceremonial Mayor

[akarjl]

Shudder to think who is doing the catering......

[mk1]

So now you have to donate to 'The Rifty' to get to wear the chain?

[fred c]

Now we know why Beck got the Mayors Gig............ The Rifty getting a chunk of the Mayors Charity Cash............ you would need to be out of your dome to make a contribution to Becks Charity.

Lying Ste's 'My Place Cafe' knocks out a Soup of the Day for £1.80 and a variety of meals for £2.75,......so a 2 courser is £4.55, even if you add a pudding a 3 courser would come out around £7.00........... so basically it's a £18 quid glass of prosecco....

If my memory serves me correctly they can't charge for Alcohol. If its not free they would require a Temporary Event Notice or a Personal Alcohol License. But then again since when did they get anything right

Looks like a class night of wit and repartee in a stunning location amongst the towns celebs, red carpet, paparazzi and flashing cameras.
Or, a gathering of the flock in a community centre.
Shows what we've come to.

A personal licence would suffice. The premises do not need a licence for a temporary event as long as the personal licence holder applies for a temporary events notice.

Why do I keep visualising those Chimps tea party's beloved of Zoo's in the days before animal rights.
