Minutes:
The Mayor thanked everyone that had attended or helped with the organisation of the Civic Dinner, held at The Winding Wheel Theatre in October. It was well attended and provided an opportunity for the council to show its gratitude to the borough’s voluntary and community sector organisations for all their hard work during the pandemic.
The Mayor referred to recent events that she and the consort had attended including;
· the annual 1940’s market in the town centre, which had featured vintage vehicles and aircraft, market stalls, food vendors and the horse and carriage reminiscent of years gone by; and
· Remembrance events including the eleventh hour ceremony attended by school children, Staveley’s Remembrance Service, Chesterfield’s Remembrance Service and Parade and the Old Contemptibles’ Service at Christchurch.
The Mayor wished everybody a Happy Christmas and New Year, and thanked Members for wearing festive attire to the Council meeting to help raise funds for the Mayor’s Appeal in support of Chesterfield Samaritans and the Volunteer Centre Chesterfield & North East Derbyshire.
