Tea and biccies with the Mayor!

I hope you all enjoyed our evening in the Mayor's company and his tour of the chambers. It was a busy night starting with a warm welcome, a tour of the mayor's and lady mayoress' chambers then a visit to the council chambers where all the meetings take place, many photo opportunities and viewing of historical items, an investiature and the presentation to the Mayor making him an honourary member of 1st Whittington Scout Group PLUS what with Big Dan taking centre stage in the council meeting room, Jack dropping the cannon ball (thank goodness nothing broke!!!), Chris looking gorgeous in the mayor's tri-corn hat and the majority of you trying on the mayoral chains a good night was had by all! It was most interesting and will help you towards gaining the community challenge badge.

I would like to say thank you Scouts for your excellent turn out. You looked really smart and behaved brilliantly well done! Also our sincere thanks go to the Mayor and his staff for sparing their time for our visit.
