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.

Folkestone Rainbow Centre 25th Anniversary
The people of Folkestone can be rightly proud of the Rainbow Centre (www.folkestonerainbowcentre.org.uk) and its work. As I have chosen the charity for fundraising this year, I was delighted to be invited to attend its 25th Anniversary service at St Mary and St Eanswythe's Church.

Bowling for Beginners...
Invitations to events for Mayors can be a little vague - as was the case for the fundraising event put on by the Mayor of Ramsgate. The invitation invited us to attend a Bowls Tournament at Ramsgate Bowling Club but the clue was in the extra request for information on our shoe size!
