The Mayor
 
Thought I would just mention that a member off this forum is the Mayor of Hyndburn for the next 12 months, Judith Addison was installed as the mayor this week, I would like to wish Judith all the best for the next 12 months, knowing Judith like I do I'm sure she'll do an excellent job representing our borough and spreading the good name of Hyndburn everywhere she goes, good luck Judith

Thanks for your good wishes, folks! I have been very busy so far! Was made Mayor at the Council's A.G.M. Thursday evening and chaired the meeting - somewhat stormy in parts! Yesterday was Civic Celebration Day with meeting in the Council Chamber at 10.30 a.m., followed by Parade in the rain to St. James' Church for Civic Service, then parade back in the rain to Town Hall for Civic Lunch. Today I did the Church & Ossy Rotary Sponsored Walk and then went to Altham Parish Council Civic Service. If you're on Facebook I now have a "Mayor of Hyndburn" page.

This thread reminded me that I was once a Mayor:eek: Mayor of the thriving community of Meyronne, Saskatchewan.:theband:

Meyronne, Saskatchewan - YouTube

When I was Mayor back in, oh, around '74, it was much bigger ... 95 souls.:D Originally a thriving pioneer community, it is now a little rough around the edges,;) another victim of progress and centralization in a Province booming with wheat, oil, potash, and uranium. I still love Saskatchewan, Land of the Living Skies.:theband:
