Dover Civic Service
The venue of Dover Parish Church was a dignified setting for the Mayor-making of Sue Jones. By this time, I have become familiar with the routines of these events but more importantly, people such as Sue have become my friends and I was so pleased to be there to celebrate with her.

St Georges Fun Afternoon at Sandgate School
Thank GOODNESS the weather held for the St George's Fun Afternoon held on Sandgate School playing fields. The bouncy castle probably captured the attention of most of the children but as all the activities were free, the Hook a Duck and Bean Bag Throwing also gathered quite a crowd. About 500 people attended the afternoon and were entertained by Creativity Puppets, The Mission Gospel Choir and The Imagination Theatre Group.

River Festival 2010 is here!
After a huge amount of preparation, including by numerous volunteers, River Festival 2010 is upon us! We should be very proud that the celebration first held in 1978 to mark the opening of a navigable route from Bedford to the wash has grown to become one of the most popular free events in the country. Around 300,000 people are estimated to be heading to our town this weekend, and I cannot wait to join with the vast numbers of volunteers, community groups, sponsors and local performers in showcasing the best of what Bedford has to offer.
